Draka Holding N.V.: Draka acquires Pressure Tube Manufacturing and enhances its leading position in specialty cable segment of the oil & gas market in the USA
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Draka announces that it has reached an agreement to acquire Pressure Tube
Manufacturing (PTM), a specialty tubing manufacturer located in New Jersey, USA.
Production takes place in Bridgewater with around 45 employees.
PTM manufactures small diameter corrosion resistant tubing used in a range of
applications from the control of hydraulic safety values on oil wells to
chemical injection in natural gas wells which both maximize production and
inhibit corrosion. Over the past 40 years, the founders of PTM developed many of
the current tube-forming and welding technologies that insure safety, consistent
manufacturability and long-term reliability of tubing for oil & gas wells.
In 1984, Draka developed the first tube-encapsulated electrical cables that
could survive extended deployment in an oil or gas well. Along with the
acquisition of PTM, Draka can accelerate the development of a new generation of
cable, fiber optic and tubing technologies to meet the world's growing energy
needs. These include high-temperature, hydrogen-insensitive temperature-sensing
fiber and a new generation of high-pressure, high-temperature cables for today's
hotter and deeper wells.
Commenting on the acquisition of PTM, Frank Dorjee, Chairman and CEO of Draka
Holding N.V, said: "Oil & gas continues to be the world's most important energy
source. The acquisition of PTM enables Draka to enhance its already leading
position in the specialty cable segment of the oil & gas market in the USA. It
also underscores our strategic objective to invest in innovative product
segments which generate attractive margins and our commitment to develop and
offer new products for emerging applications in the energy sector such as
geothermal energy production."
