The SVI legacy is Southeast Valve, Inc. which provided industrial valve service. However, the company has diversified into SVI BREMCO, still specializing in valve service but now includes SVI DYNAMICS (engineered gas path solutions), Brick and Tile division (industrial masonry services) and BREMCO (Industrial Contractor for Power Generation, specifically HRSG/Boiler outage services). Over the last five decades, our outstanding and reputable customer service and expertise has allowed us to build a breadth of product and services to provide engineered turnkey outage support for our industrial customers. With our exponential growth, SVI BREMCO has become one of the largest, most technologically advanced, and innovative industrial service companies in the United States. We have some of the most experienced project managers, engineers, valve technicians, welders, machinists, field crews and support staff. SVI BREMCO has become a one-stop source for a variety of our customers’ specialized outage needs, which in turn, reduces their cost of ownership and increases the plant’s efficiency. The SVI BREMCO family is eager and committed to serving all of our customers and partners with unparalleled expertise and value.
As we continue to grow, our major objectives are to continue to deliver our customers with the highest quality workmanship with on-time completion, add new innovative services and products, and to provide a profitable and stable organization for the benefit of our employees and their families.
