President Engineering Group Ltd

President Engineering Group Ltd was formed in October 2010 when the Conflow (www.conflow.com) and Bestobell Valves (www.bestobellvalves.com) businesses were purchased in a management buyout from Flow Group. These businesses consist of a manufacturing and distribution unit in Sheffield (UK), a distribution unit in Pittsburgh (USA), and a manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad (India).

One of the world’s leading suppliers of cryogenic valves to the industrial gas and
downstream LNG industries, Bestobell has more than 50 years’ experience in the specialist
valve design and manufacture required for the processing, storage and transportation of
cryogenic fluids. Today Bestobell continues to produce new innovative valve solutions for
these industries. Established in 2004 specifically to address the opportunity provided by global investment in infrastructure to handle liquid natural gas (LNG), Bestobell LNG is applying the valve technology built up over 50 years at Bestobell to meet the demand for fire-safe cryogenic valves in the LNG industry; on LNG cargo carriers, at LNG liquefaction plants and LNG storage and regasification terminals. By spending time carefully understanding the issues faced in the LNG industry, and by talking to customers, Bestobell LNG is offering valve solutions, such as the miniature needle globe valve and Float Level Isolation Valve (FLIV), to enable customers to improve performance, reduce costs and improve safety.

President Engineering products are approved by the world’s major blue chip energy companies and their contractors. These highly reliable products are in daily use in harsh and demanding applications across the world, both onshore and offshore. Here are just some examples:

• Cryogenic stainless steel valves for emergency shut-off applications on road trailers.
• Fire safe cryogenic stainless steel actuated and non-actuated valves on many LNG cargo carriers built by the major shipyards in Korea and Japan.
• Cryogenic stainless steel valves for the major industrial gas and LNG, storage and distribution equipment builders.
• Flow control valves specified for critical applications within the defence industries.

Conflow, a company in the President Engineering Group, is renowned the world over as the leading supplier of specialist components and systems for dust suppression, fire suppression and all aspects of water control in underground mining. In November 2012 President Engineering Group acquired Bretby Gammatech Ltd a niche provider of coal monitoring products. This exciting move not only provides significant benefits to both PEGL and Bretby Gammatech but increases President Engineering’s credentials in the global mining market. Bretby Gammatech Ltd. is a coal quality monitoring company, specialising in ash monitoring, providing and maintaining on-line, portable and laboratory coal quality instruments.
