ERIKS has announced that it has been awarded a five-year contract with Shell Global Solutions International B.V to be the primary gasket supplier for all USA refineries and offshore installations, along with the company’s upstream and downstream operations throughout Europe.
The large industrial services supplier will begin roll-out and implementation of the programme immediately with full compliance expected by Q3 2015. The contract has the potential to extend further at the end of this term. The gaskets will be supplied by Leader Gasket Technology, a newly acquired member of the ERIKS Group. In the UK, the contract will be managed via the ERIKS distribution network.
Simon Noble, director of Flow Technology at ERIKS, said; “We are delighted to have won this tender. This contract win is an example of the ERIKS Group’s manufacturing and distribution expertise, working together to make a winning combination that is capable of providing the highest quality of products and, then offering the highest standards of aftersales and maintenance support.”
He continued: “ERIKS has a strong track record of working in the oil and gas sector, specifying a wide range of sealing products and supporting them in the field. This contract win is testament to the hard work of the entire ERIKS Group and we look forward to beginning our work with one of the leading companies in the petrochemicals sector.”
Other services offered through the flow technology team include repair and maintenance, asset inventory and management, as well as Kanban systems for continuous stock replacement.
