___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Serimax
Established in 1978, Serimax proudly offers over 40 years of experience in specialist orbital welding and has built a strong track record in developing mechanized welding systems. With a highly skilled workforce capable of delivering manual and mechanized pipeline welding solutions, the company delivers both equipment and services to improve welding performance and overall project efficiency – including welding systems, pipe preparation tools, beveling equipment, digital scanning solutions, full welding delivery, NDT and coating coordination, equipment provision, skilled personnel and early-stage weldability assessments.
“ Our roots are in offshore oil and gas, where quality, efficiency and safety are paramount,” opens Murdo MacAngus, Commercial & Operations Development Director at Serimax.“ That environment shaped the systems and mindset that form the core of our DNA today, which we now apply across a wider range of energy and infrastructure markets.” Consistently delivering high-integrity welding in demanding environments, the group’ s experience spans global offshore and onshore pipeline projects.“ Today, we are applying that same expertise to support the energy transition, particularly in nuclear, hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage( CCUS), and water infrastructure,” continues Murdo.“ We are increasingly bringing this approach into construction and civil engineering, where the demand for reliable, high-quality pipeline infrastructure continues to grow.”
A key focus for Serimax is removing risk early on through preparation and inspection, ensuring right-first-time weld performance.“ We are also adapting these solutions to meet
The energy transition is not new for us, it’ s an extension of what we have always done
the specific material and integrity challenges associated with hydrogen and CCUS pipelines,” Murdo explains.“ In construction, these tools are particularly valuable in improving efficiency and reducing rework on site.” With an approach based on early engagement and continuity, the firm is often involved from the design phase, ensuring that welding is considered as part of the overall project solution – a method it is striving to carry forward into newer markets, Murdo notes:“ We’ re working to build that same level of engagement through technical discussions, workshops and early collaboration. The objective is to ensure welding is designed into energy transition projects, rather than treated as a downstream activity. In construction, this is all about shifting perception and ensuring it is seen as a key contributor to project performance.”
Last year’ s acquisition by Aldebaran has also been a positive step for Serimax; a transition that has enabled the business to focus on growth, value creation and strategic alignment, while accelerating its positioning within energy transition markets.“ The energy transition is not new for us,” Murdo states.“ It’ s an extension of what we have always done. We are a pipeline welding company, and our core values have not changed. The challenge lies in ensuring that our values – quality, efficiency and safety – are recognized across new markets, where procurement may focus more on upfront cost than long-term value. We are actively supporting nuclear, hydrogen, CCUS, and water infrastructure projects, where pipeline integrity is critical. As global energy priorities shift, energy security and infrastructure resilience are becoming increasingly important, reinforcing the need for high-quality, reliable delivery.”
