Major Caribbean contract for Hydratight GLOBAL joint integrity and engineering services company Hydratight has won a major order in the Caribbean. The company is to supply over a quarter of amillion dollarsworthof bolting andmachining tools to Trinidad-based construction-support company, RBG Portable. The order includes Hydratight’s DL Ricci line-boring machine and milling machines, boring bars and clamshells, and its RSL torque equipment, torque pumps, manual torque wrenches and impact sockets. The order replaces virtually all RBG Portable’s machining equipment, which was nearing the end of its useful life. “Parent company RBG Scotland had wanted to standardise its preferred global

suppliers for ease of interpretation and training, and wanted the Trinidad operation to use suppliers from that list,” explained Hydratight’s Trinidad manager Paul Prudent. “But RBG Portable is one of RBG’s top- performing divisions and has long experience and a great relationship with our company, so they wanted to retain our equipment. The strong case put forward by the Trinidad operation successfully persuaded the head office to let it continue with that relationship. “We’re proud to have received such a strong vote of confidence from a major Caribbean partner. RBG Portable is one of

the biggest and best-known companies in its sector and we’re delighted to continue our work with the company. “We are always very happy to build this level of trust and confidence with our customers; as we have already found all over the world, it helps us to give the best service and advice possible. Great relationships start with good experiences and we look forward to having the chance to build strong relationships with other companies in the region.” Hydratight – USA Website: www.hydratight.com
