UK export award winner
AES Engineering has become one of this year's Queen's Award for Export achievement winners. This year's Queen's award is AES's third. After losing the right to distribute an American-made product, AES took over a small Derby engineering company and successfully patented a new type of seal which compensates for angular misaligm'aent in pumps.
North America which once supplied products for AES to distribute is now the biggest export market for the Yorkshire firm's mechanical seals. The company supplies a network of over 100 distributors worldwide and has more than doubled its exports in three years. AES seals are working all over Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa, Australasia and Peru.
For the future, AES expects the oil industry to be one of its biggest customers. A significant use for mechanical seals is on ships. In a tanker fleet the most important pumps are the cargo pumps used for unloading crude oil. AES Engineering is currently associated with Mobil Shipping which is the first major tanker operator to fit double mechanical seals on cargo pumps. This decision resulted from Mobil's concern for the environment. The total seal business on a typical tanker fleet is estimated at one and a half million pounds every three years.
