Avingtrans’ Advanced Engineering Systems division (LSE:AVG) has recorded strong momentum in global nuclear markets, securing more than £10 million in nuclear-related orders since the beginning of the year. Among the contracts is a £3 million deal to supply a reactor water cleanup pump for Iberdrola’s Cofrentes nuclear plant in Spain, alongside long-lead prototype pump components for emerging small-scale nuclear technologies.
The company highlighted its involvement across the full nuclear lifecycle—from legacy asset support and life extension to new build, fusion, and decommissioning—as a key advantage in capturing growth driven by energy security and decarbonisation priorities. Increasing electricity demand from energy-intensive data centres is also expected to accelerate interest in small modular reactors (SMRs), an area where Avingtrans is already working on prototype development with a leading SMR partner.
Avingtrans’ portfolio of businesses, including Booth Industries, Hayward Tyler, Energy Steel, HT Fluid Handling, Metalcraft, and Ormandy Rycroft, positions it across both nuclear infrastructure and data centre cooling solutions. This broad exposure supports a growing project pipeline and underpins management’s confidence in meeting current market expectations.
The company’s outlook is supported by solid financial performance and recent contract wins, although valuation metrics suggest the shares may be somewhat stretched. Technical indicators point to a more neutral trend, and limited disclosure from earnings calls constrains deeper insight into management’s forward guidance.
