The weather is warming up and I am pleased to report that our industry sector is similarly improving, albeit only slowly; but there are signs that the worst of the downturn is behind us.
Our exhibition season has kicked off with the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston which is being held the first week of May, and where we will be in attendance with Offspring International; our global representative for the sub-sea ASV product range. Our Sales Manager, Lynette Ross will be supporting our efforts during the exhibition, as well as visiting Paladon Americas who are also based in Houston. In July we will also be exhibiting at the Oil & Gas Asia (OGA) conference in Kuala Lumpur with our new Malaysian agent, Macrospec.
Following the retirement of our Engineering Director, Brian Simister, I am delighted to inform you that Sam Ferguson is joining us on the 2nd May in the role of Engineering Manager. Sam has been working in the USA until recently and has accumulated a wealth of experience in valve actuator technologies, both in the UK and America.
May I thank you for your continued support and I will be in touch again in July.
Brian Ennever

Comprising of 24 spring-return linear actuators fitted with self-contained electro-hydraulic systems, the systems will provide precise positioning of 1.5” to 8” valves with a command and retransmission accuracy of ±1%. Using 4-20mA HART communications, the PESO and EExd certified systems will fail the valves either open or closed on loss of the electrical power supply, command signal or hydraulic pressure. The MAFFFL project will create a modern and efficient fuel farm facility with connector lines to a hydrant system to cater for the increasing needs of airlines operating from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Mumbai. Find out more about positioning systems.
