Cashco, a portfolio company of May River Capital, announced it has acquired 3B Controls, a UK-based provider of specialized storage tank solutions.
The transaction strengthens Cashco’s product portfolio across pressure and vacuum relief systems, flame arresting, and gas blanketing, while adding a manufacturing and service hub in the United Kingdom to support global operations.
3B Controls manufactures a range of highly engineered products, including pressure and vacuum relief valves, breather valves, emergency relief systems, and biogas equipment. The company serves customers across industries such as chemical, petrochemical, and biogas, offering both products and after-sales services through a global distribution network.
The acquisition brings together complementary capabilities, enabling the combined organization to deliver a broader suite of solutions and enhanced technical support. It also expands Cashco’s geographic reach, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, improving service responsiveness and reducing lead times through localized production and distribution.
The combined platform will offer an extensive range of materials and technologies, supporting diverse industrial applications and enabling customers to access a wider set of solutions through a single provider.
The deal aligns with Cashco’s strategy of expanding its presence in high-value industrial markets and strengthening its position as a global provider of pressure management and tank safety equipment.
