Pipeline equipment companies combine

International Trade Fair for Metallurgy, Machinery, Plant Technology and Products

SAWYER Manufacturing Company, USA, has joined with PSW Consultants Ltd, UK, in the creation of a new partnership in the form of Sawyer International – which will be a global provider of pipeline and welding equipment. “PSW has built a strong international presence over the past two decades in business, and we are proud that the Pipeswizard brand is known on job sites across the world,” said Warrick Howard, PSW’s international sales director. “Our exciting new partnership with Sawyer Manufacturing has enabled us to effectively double our product range instantly, giving our existing distributors a much broader range of products to service their customers’ needs internationally. “Sawyer Manufacturing has a very strong reputation for quality US-manufactured goods, and combined with our established EU manufacturing facilities, we can push forward as a global brand capable of servicing all pipeline fit up requirements from Austria to Zambia.” Sawyer International is positioned to meet the needs of the growing pipeline industry with an increased product line and access to additional markets. Customers will benefit from innovative equipment, services and solutions available through Sawyer’s global, multi-channel network. The new Sawyer International will focus initially on generating increased exposure in the US, Russian and Asian markets. Through unified product lines, Sawyer International will offer a scope of equipment for welders in the pipeline industry. A central European fulfilment warehouse will decrease customer lead-time and equipment costs, and new products introduced into the market will benefit from locations in the USA and Europe. The expansion of Sawyer International creates new growth and revenue opportunities, which extend to the work force, allowing room for expansion and future advancement for existing employees. There is also an opportunity for new distributor partnerships across the globe. At the present time, the merged companies will continue to manufacture and distribute equipment through their current avenues.
