Per Sylvio Fonseca

Alderley is a leading provider of advanced digital, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical process solutions as well as aftermarket solutions for the global energy industry.

Initially established to provide innovative measurement systems in challenging environments such as that found in the North Sea, Alderley now applies its vast experience and unrivaled technical expertise across its range of integrated solutions.

Always partnering with some of the biggest names in the industry, Alderley's solutions include: advanced custody metering and control systems, produced water treatment systems, subsea hydraulic control and smart metering systems, condition-based remote monitoring and solutions through diagnosis, modification and technological updating of obsolete installations (brownfield), cyber security solutions and after-sales technical assistance services. These solutions are used in onshore, offshore and floating operations around the world.

A family business

In 1989, Tony Shepherd brought together several companies with many years of experience to form Alderley.

As Alderley's founder and chairman of the board for many years, Tony's ambition was to create a leading UK-based engineering company to support not only the growing oil & gas industry in the North Sea, but also the your family.

As a family business, Alderley's reputation for customer service has always been paramount. Even early on, when many young companies struggle, family values outweighed the relentless pursuit of quick wins on their balance sheet.

With integrity, commitment, and placing the customer at the center of its processes, Alderley was able to quickly develop an enviable reputation for technical excellence, quality and customer service, which remains in its family business to this day.

The very humble beginnings had a single factory in Gloucestershire, UK. Over time Alderley has grown to become a leading provider of integrated solutions for the energy industry worldwide.

With operations in the UK, UAE, India, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and help from partners in key locations, clients can benefit from the company's presence in these countries, enabling them to leverage their strengths globally.

Another 30 years

Today, 30 years after its founding, Alderley continues to provide its customers with integrated engineering solutions that have become market leaders. Tony's demand for technical excellence, as well as his unwavering determination for quality and commitment to providing the right solution for his customers, remain present in the company.

With the Shepherd family represented on the board and occupying key positions in the business, the same family values and customer focus were maintained as they have resulted in the company's success to date and serve as the essence to drive the company's activities into the future .

Fluxo represents the Alderley Group exclusively in Brazil and also brings the necessary expertise on the specific Brazilian metrology standards required by INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology) and its applications, essential for the approval of any measurement system.
