Like Great Yarmouth, the Aberdeen centre will handle lifting gear sales, product hire, and repair and maintenance as well as product inspection and testing. It will also have specialist manufacturing capabilities, dedicated training facilities, warehouse space and offices.

The company already has a number of high profile customers in the Aberdeen area – including Sparrows Offshore Services, Aker Kvaerner, Schlumberger and Expro North Sea – and aims to attract new business through the increased availability of locally held products and extra services.
