The Company continues to expand and go from strength to strength. Sales have again doubled in the last 12 months. Although the offshore oil and gas industry is extremely busy we have in addition secured several orders for the LNG and nuclear power markets.
The largest order in the Company's history was secured recently for 110 cryogenic ball valves in 316SS in sizes up to 14" for an onshore gas terminal in Tunisia.
Earlier this year an order was despatched to 2 nuclear power stations in the North of England for 82 top entry butt weld ended metal seated ball valves in sizes 0.5", 1.5" and 3" 600lb. Valves were on radioactive CO2 duty and were designed , manufactured and tested to ASME III class 1 and 2. In addition the valves were seismically qualified. You can see a picture of these valves in the Technical Library under "Photo Gallery".
This year we have received several orders for offshore installations in Western Australia following a visit to a major end user in Perth.
Orders have been received and despatched for destinations in Baku Azerbaijan, Karachaganak Kazahkstan and Sakholin Islands.
The expansion in sales has been based on a very wide design range, flexibility in meeting customers' specifications and relatively short delivery times. The details of the sales can be seen on the Sales Reference List in the Technical Library.
To further support and increase sales, new agents are being appointed in Norway, Malaysia and South Africa.
