AESSEAL® has demonstrated its continuing commitment to supporting local communities by making a series of donations to the South Yorkshire Community Foundation (SYCF). By making a series of donations throughout a three year programme AESSEAL® has created a charitable endowment fund which, after match funding through the Grassroots Grants programme, is worth almost £1 million. Pauline Grice, chief executive of SYCF, said:  "AESSEAL is a shining example of a community focussed organisation that has a real commitment to improving the area in which it operates.”

As the end of the year approaches, AESSEAL® has broken through a significant milestone. On Monday, 20th December 2010, the business achieved £100 million pounds sterling in sales in a calendar year for the first time. This last year is the latest in 30 consecutive years of uninterrupted sales growth. Obviously, this figure will continue to rise between this date and the end of the year, with the total sales for 2010 expected to total approximately £103 million.

We are delighted to announce that AES Engineering has acquired Ceetak Engineering Group. This will allow us to further develop our already industry leading pump repair services and further the AESPUMP Division.

AESSEAL group of companies was awarded the equivalent of FOUR company knighthoods in this year’s Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.
