At the core of the Glacier brand, is the company's deep-rooted capability amassed through the acquisition of some of the most technical and reputable brands in the industry.

In 2014, Glacier acquired Professional Testing Services (PTS), an industry-leader of non-destructive testing and inspection services. This acquisition complemented Glacier's existing range of services and opened up new opportunities both for repair & maintenance, and in the support of new-build fabrication and assembly projects, in the oil & gas, renewables and power generation industries.
Today, Glacier Energy Services is made up of 4 divisions – heat transfer solutions, welding solutions, onsite machining solutions and inspection & NDT services. Operating throughout the UK, the company has a growing international presence with strategic partners operating in the Middle East, Caspian and USA.
