IMI Critical Engineering has announced a new agent collaboration with FAC Engenharia to offer high quality and efficient flow control solutions for oil and gas customers and their partners in Brazil, as it works to strengthen its position in South America.
FAC Engenharia has extensive reach across Espirito Santo, the South of Bahia State and part of Minas Gerais State, focusing on oil and gas, chemical plants, paper mills and mining.
IMI Critical selected FAC as a partner because of its ability to reach both refineries and mining operations in Espirito Santo, as well as offering increased levels of support to customers in the region.

Kevin McKown, Americas President for IMI Critical Engineering, said: “Our collaboration with FAC Engenharia acts as a bridge into the Brazilian market as we grow our presence both in South America, and Brazil in particular.
“FAC Engenharia has extensive client relationships across key regions of the country, meaning more Brazilian plants will benefit from our world-leading engineering expertise.”
Felipe Alfaia do Carmo, an owner at FAC Engenharia, added: “The collaboration with IMI Critical Engineering Brasil Ltda means we can offer clients the best products and services available on the market, while supporting the growth of our own business.”
