Proserv chooses Parker fittings and valves AT Offshore Europe, Parker signed a worldwide representation agreement with the oil and gas systems integrator Proserv Group AS. Tube fittings, valves, manifolds and other components from the instrumentation products division of Parker Hannifin – the global leader in motion and control technologies – will become part of Proserv’s preferred system building offering. Since its foundation in 1974, Proserv has developed a global engineering business that includes specialist system building expertise in a broad range of oil and gas applications. The Norwegian-headquartered company has grown rapidly and now operates in almost every major oil and gas centre, from over 20 locations worldwide. To enhance the efficiency of its system services, Proserv actively seeks relationships with suppliers who are able to provide premium-quality building-block components worldwide. Parker’s broad range of instrumentation fittings, valves and manifolds, and its global logistics network, proved the perfect match. In particular, Proserv was very impressed with the responsive nature of Parker’s lean manufacturing operation in Barnstaple, UK. In addition to Proserv’s broad activity profile, the system builder’s worldwide footprint was a major attraction for Parker, as it extends local support to several areas not currently covered by its own international office network, such as West Africa. Parker’s Sheldon Banks said: “Proserv is one of the strongest brands in the industry and has an enviable global footprint. Our agreement gives us the means to better serve oil major, design house and EPC clients – bringing mutual opportunities for rapid and sustainable growth.” “We have a large requirement for instrumentation products and expertise, and Parker’s range, responsive supply chain and innovative approach gives us what we need,” added Proserv Group’s chief executive officer Arve Sem-Henriksen. “The product supply agreement we have will help us to build and deliver systems very rapidly and efficiently, and provide after-sales support with products from a globally recognised source.” Parker Instrumentation Products Division – UK Email: ipd@parker.com Website: www.parker.com
