HSP Valves strengthens test capability across UK and Middle East operations

Published: 22nd July 2026 | Issue 106 Share article:

For HSP Valves, valve automation has never been simply about supplying equipment. It is about understanding the application, managing complexity and consistently delivering systems that perform when reliability matters most.

That approach has underpinned the business for many years, but continued investment across HSP's facilities is making this capability more visible and more consistent across its UK and Middle East operations.

A key part of this is the continued development of HSP's Dubai test facility, which forms part of a wider group approach to strengthening test capability, technical assurance and consistent delivery standards across HSP's operations. Building on established engineering knowledge, rigorous inspection processes and practical valve automation expertise across the business, the Dubai facility helps extend this capability into a strategically important regional location. This gives customers access to a consistent testing and delivery model supported by shared standards, experienced teams and collaboration across the wider HSP group.

The Dubai facility now provides one of the most advanced test setups of its kind in the region, supporting valve and actuation packages where safety, quality, repeatability and technical assurance are critical.

Just as importantly, the investment has been matched by continued investment in experienced engineering teams, ensuring customers benefit not only from advanced testing capability, but also from practical application knowledge gained across complex valve automation projects worldwide.

This capability is already supporting customers delivering complex and time-sensitive valve automation projects, where priorities can change quickly and delivery programmes need to adapt without compromising safety or technical standards. In these situations, having integrated test capability in-region can make a significant difference, reducing logistical complexity, lowering inspection costs and supporting faster, more responsive project execution.

For operators, EPCs and OEMs, this matters because valve automation projects rarely exist in isolation. They involve specification, actuation selection, integration, testing, documentation, supply chain management and long-term support. HSP's strength lies in connecting these stages through experienced teams who understand both the technical and commercial pressures involved.

The investment in Dubai also reinforces the wider HSP model: regional capability supported by shared knowledge, common standards and experienced people across the group. Teams in Aberdeen, Dubai and the wider Middle East work closely together, allowing customers to access local responsiveness while benefiting from broader engineering expertise, established processes and global project delivery capability.

For HSP, this is not a new direction. It is a clearer expression of the way the business has always worked: engineering-led, practical and built around the needs of customers operating in demanding environments.

As valve automation projects become increasingly complex, and expectations around quality, safety and delivery continue to rise, HSP remains focused on investing in the facilities, engineering expertise and regional capability needed to support customers wherever they operate. It is an approach built on practical experience, technical knowledge and a commitment to delivering valve automation solutions with confidence.
