Aker Solutions invests in Thailand
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
12 June 2012 - International oil service group Aker Solutions continues its
investments in Asia Pacific with a brand new lifecycle services workshop in
Songkhla, in the Gulf of Thailand.
Recently, Aker Solutions announced several investments in Malaysia including a
new umbilical and a subsea service base, in addition to new equipment for its
high-tech subsea manufacturing centre in Port Klang. The company is now further
boosting its presence in the Asia Pacific region with a brand new workshop for
lifecycle services and refurbishment in Thailand. This centre of excellence will
support Aker Solutions' surface wellheads and subsea tree businesses.
Dave Hutchinson, Aker Solutions' president of the Asia Pacific subsea business
says: "Aker Solutions has invested heavily to support the growth of the Asia
Pacific region. This service base is a response to several new orders and
recognition of the growing market demand. We are now even more capable of
serving our clients."
The new workshop replaces two other service bases in Thailand and consolidates
Aker Solutions' lifecycle services in Thailand under one roof. The new facility,
which has a total area of 3 225sqm, opened today.
Aker Solutions has a solid network of surface product service facilities in the
Asia Pacific region. Apart from Thailand, it has service bases in Vung Tau in
Vietnam, Jakarta and Duri in Indonesia, Perth in Australia, and Mumbai in India.
The surface wellheads manufacturing facility is located in Batam, Indonesia, and
its global sales office is based in Singapore.
