Score Group, the Peterhead-based engineering technology specialist, has announced two significant acquisitions as part of its ongoing strategic growth plan. The company has acquired BLJ In-Situ Solutions, an Australian mechanical maintenance and turnaround firm, in a seven-figure deal.
In addition, Score has completed an eight-figure acquisition of Houston-based Drake Controls, a leading provider of advanced digital control solutions for industrial gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and reciprocating engines.
These deals mark a pivotal moment for Score, further diversifying its service portfolio and strengthening its global presence across key sectors, including energy, defence, and aerospace.
The acquisition of BLJ In-Situ Solutions significantly enhances Score’s footprint in Australasia, expanding its expertise in on-site machining, maintenance, and shutdown services. This move will support critical industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and mining throughout the region.
Meanwhile, the purchase of Drake Controls positions Score at the forefront of intelligent control solutions for industrial gas turbines and related engines. Drake Controls is recognised as one of Woodward Inc’s largest energy aftermarket business partners, with authorised sales and service centres across the United States and Mexico.
Nick Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Score Group, commented on the acquisition: “By combining BLJ’s trusted customer relationships and local expertise with Score’s global scale, engineering depth, and emissions elimination solutions, we’ll be better positioned to support a wider range of customers across more sectors and geographies.
Integration plans are already in progress, with both BLJ and Drake Controls set to operate under the Score portfolio while maintaining their specialist expertise and customer relationships.
These acquisitions underscore Score’s commitment to engineering excellence, innovation, and the delivery of sustainable solutions that drive performance across global industries.
Score Group, part of the D2Zero group of engineering and technology companies, now operates in more than 30 locations across five continents, specialising in valve and emissions management, gas turbines, surface technologies, and serving the energy, defence, and aerospace markets.
