Just back from the OGA 2017 Conference in Kuala Lumpur where we had a very good Show with lots of customers, new and not so new. We shared the exhibition stand with our local partner Macrospec and enjoyed a very useful 3 days.
There has been an interesting development since our last communication. Giovanni Scovenna has joined Paladon in the role of Chairman; he has a wealth of knowledge in the valve industry in general and in the Italian sector in particular. His experience in working with some of the largest valve companies in the World will be invaluable to Paladon and we are very much looking forward to working with him to move the Company forward and to reach the next stage of our planned growth.
The second important development this quarter is the achievement of the upgrade of our Quality System to ISO 9001;2015, my sincere thanks and congratulations to Julia and Lorraine who have been working toward this goal for almost 2 years.
Thank you all for your continued support, I will be in touch again in October.

World Pipelines Magazine Article
Traditionally, valves in gas transmission pipelines have been automated using Gas-Over-Oil or Direct-Gas valve automation technology; however, both of these solutions can create numerous operational and environmental issues for operators. In June’s edition of World Pipelines magazine, Paladon Systems explains the technology that is replacing Gas-Over-Oil and Direct-Gas systems and how it was employed for Gazprom’s Bovanenkovo-Ukhta gas pipeline where ambient operating temperatures can be as low as -60°C. Read the article.

Upgraded Quality System
In 1989 Paladon Systems was one of the first companies in the industry to achieve ISO 9001 certification and, 28 years later, we are proud to announce that we are again one of the first to transition to ISO 9001:2015. Quality System Administrator, Julia Haworth, “We’ve been working on the transition from ISO 9001:2008 to 2015 for the last two years and are delighted that we have achieved it over a year before ISO 9001:2008 becomes obsolete. Ultimately, the new system will support Paladon Systems’ continued growth through improved project management and levels of customer service.”
