New CEO for Socotherm PIPELINE coatings specialist Socotherm Group has appointed Paul DeWeese as chief executive officer. Mr DeWeese has worked extensively in the area of oilfield services and supplies, initially with Cameron Compression Services (Cooper Cameron), and subsequently with CRC-Evans International, where he was president of the automatic welding division, a supplier to the global pipeline industry. The controlling shareholders and board members of Socotherm expressed strong enthusiasm with the appointment of Mr DeWeese. Diego Alvarez-Demalde of Sophia Capital said, “Paul’s leadership skills and experience in the sector will be critical as we increase further our focus on technology and the competitiveness of our customers.” Tighe Noonan of 4D Global Energy stated, “We are confident that his in-depth knowledge of the global pipeline marketplace and strong experience in international sales and manufacturing will help lead Socotherm group through a new phase of growth and technical innovation building on its worldwide presence and multicultural identity.” Socotherm’s strategy is to become the world leader in high technology coating, including all special coatings such as thermal insulation and concrete coating for the off shore market. Additionally, Socotherm intends to be the best coating strategic partner and supplier for the leading oil and gas companies, pipe laying contractors and steel pipe producers.

This, coupled with a record of high quality product manufacture and efficient and personal service, has ensured the company’s managed and sustainable expansion. The success has paved the way for 2012, which sees its most recent milestone achieved. Having outgrown its premises the business decided to relocate to a significantly larger, purpose-built unit. The new site, situated at the Blackpool, UK end of the M55 motorway, has the advantage of providing increased accessibility to both customers and suppliers. The move also offers opportunities for the acquisition of additional machinery, the recruitment of more apprentices and ultimately a substantial increase in the volume of work Entech is able to process.
