Parker has signed a worldwide
representation agreement with oil
and gas systems integrator Proserv
Group AS. Tube fittings, valves,
manifolds and other components from
the instrumentation products division
of Parker Hannifin will become part
of Proserv’s preferred system building
offering.
Since its foundation in 1974, Norwegian-
headquartered Proserv has developed
a global engineering business that
includes specialist system building
expertise in a broad range of oil and gas
applications such as wellhead control,
chemical injection, umbilical termination,
high pressure hydraulics, and sampling
and analysis instrumentation.
In choosing Parker’s broad range of
instrumentation fittings, valves and
manifolds, backed by a global logistics
network, Proserv was said to be
impressed with the responsive nature of
Parker’s lean manufacturing operation
in Barnstaple, UK, which has become
a leading supplier to major oil and gas
projects over the last decade.
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.
“We have a very large requirement for
instrumentation products and expertise,
and Parker’s range, responsive supply
chain and innovative approach gives
us what we need to satisfy the ever
increasing demands of our clients,”
commented Proserv Group’s CEO Arve
Sem-Henriksen. “The product supply
agreement we have with Parker will
help us to build and deliver systems
very rapidly and efficiently, and provide
after-sales support with products from a
globally-recognised source.”
