A world-class name in specialist industrial services, specialist waste management services and process decontamination is poised for expansion, thanks to the strategic acquisition of a fellow Aberdeenshire company.
Denholm Environmental Limited (a Denholm Energy subsidiary) has acquired Oldmeldrum-based Pipetech for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition – the fourth made by Denholm Environmental in six years – is seen as key to growing the company’s capabilities and its footprint in Norway, a key target in its ambitious international growth plans and one where Pipetech has already made inroads.
Over more than 20 years, Pipetech has built up an enviable track record of success in the advanced and efficient process remediation cleaning of naturally forming blockages such as scales, waxes and corrosion from the internals of oil and gas processing systems. Utilising specialist technologies across topside, subsea and downhole applications Pipetech can maximise production by ensuring full flow path efficiency, whilst minimising downtime and negating the requirement for harsh environmentally damaging chemicals. Its portfolio centrepiece is the NZTC-supported Downhole Scale Remediation technology tool which will complement Denholm Environmental’s existing capabilities.

All Pipetech staff will be retained and will relocate to Denholm Environmental’s Inverurie headquarters, taking the company-wide permanent headcount to 200 across its operational sites in Carlisle, Grangemouth and Invergordon as well as Inverurie.
Brian Ritchie, managing director of Denholm Environmental commented: “This acquisition represents an exciting step forward for us because it brings into the fold products and services that are highly complementary to our existing capabilities. It is a strategic move in our sustained growth plans as it enables us to deliver even more integrated and efficient solutions to a growing client base.”
Pipetech operations director Leonard Hamill added: “We are delighted to be joining Denholm. We see this as a great move for both companies and our clients, pooling resources to achieve excellent outcomes as we work towards a bright future together.”
