As part of its strategy, Bestobell FCx continues to broaden its market base by developing and adapting products for uses outside that of its traditional area of industrial gas control.
As part of its strategy, Bestobell FCx continues to broaden its market base by developing and adapting products for uses outside that of its traditional area of industrial gas control.
Two such markets that fall into this category are those of Liquefied Natural and Petroleum Gas transportation and storage.
The LNG/LPG market offers a significant growth opportunity, and the valve and pressure control devices in use, utilise a technology that Bestobell FCx is not only familiar with, but is often perceived as a marker leader.
The down side has been, that it is a mature market that has established players all having the relevant product accreditation and approvals.
Bestobell FCx is pleased to announce that it has now been successful in breaking into this market sector.
Recently Bestobell FCx obtained a Lloyds Type Approval, for a range of its stainless steel globe valves, this enabled the company to bid for projects that fell within the approval remit.
The Bestobell Sales and Marketing team, supported by the FCx Manufacturing Marketing group have been successful in obtaining Bestobell's first order from Samsung Heavy Industries, based in Korea.
Bestobell FCx has been awarded a contract to supply stainless steel globe valves for two LNG Carriers, the order comprising 774 valves is due for delivery in 2001.
The end customer is BP Amoco, who has an option on three additional vessels.
John Cook, General Manager said, 'I would like to thank all those employees that made obtaining this order possible, those who work in our Design, Sales and Prototyping operations, together with those members of the FCx Manufacturing Marketing team who assisted both here and in Korea.
The door to this market is now open, I believe that this presents an unprecedented opportunity to both develop and grow our business.
Once again well done.'.
