INTERNATIONAL Pipeline Products
Ltd has been acquired as part of a
management buy-out supported by private
equity investor Meridian Equity. The
company, which is known internationally
under the brand name, iNPIPE Products™,
has been acquired for an undisclosed
sum from parent company Pan-Atlanta
Developments Limited, to accelerate the
growth of the business into new premises
required for rapid expansion.
iNPIPE Products, a member of energy
sector business development organisation
NOF Energy, has been a supplier to major
operators and international contractors for
over 25 years and continues to grow. The
company has increased worldwide
turnover and profits year on year and the
company has significant development and
further recruitment planned for the next 12
months. From its headquarters in North
Yorkshire, England, iNPIPE Products
designs, manufactures and hires an array
of ‘pigging’ pipeline maintenance and
testing equipment and services. The Pig
Signaller, its first patent, was developed
with omni-directional properties. This is
of particular importance when orientating
the signaller on the pipeline because
with an iNPIPE Products omni-directional
trigger it is impossible to install the trigger
unit incorrectly.
The company is also able to work
with clients to produce tailor-made
products alongside its standardised range,
and bespoke manufacture accounts for
approximately 25 per cent of its business.
As oil prices continue to rise, sales
director Gavin Newall reflects on how
this affects the company’s hopes for the
near future: “Over the next two years
we’d like to see the company grow to
twice its current size, consolidating our
position in the market place and moving
the company forward into more service-
orientated products.”
