ESAB WINS WELDING EQUIPMENT ORDER IN ABU DHABI

The welding machines will be used for two different projects. Both projects are part of the Shah Sour Gas Field development which is essential to help Abu Dhabi meet energy demands in the Emirates, which has surged as the government builds gas-fired power stations, desalination plants and develops its petrochemical industries.

The contractor will build sulphur granulation facilities for Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. and will use ESAB LHF 400 and 316 OrigoTM Tig 3001i machines for this project. Habshan Sulphur Terminal 2 is the other project which deals with the handling and distribution of granulated sulphur. For building this project, the contractor will use ESAB LHF 400 and 125 OrigoTM Tig 3001i machines.

This is the second time in as many years that ESAB has won such a large order in the Middle East, having completed a similarly valued contract in Qatar in 2010.

Reporting on one of the biggest orders in ESAB Middle East’s history, Managing Director, Johan Fransson said: “We are delighted to have been chosen as the preferred partner and supplier for these major projects and to have secured such a prestigious order.”

According to Brendan Colgan, recently appointed CEO of ESAB Holdings, it further demonstrates ESAB’s unique ability to deliver and service large equipment orders to demanding customers in the energy segment. He says: “With over 100 years of experience, a presence in over 80 countries and more than 8,000 employees worldwide, ESAB is the world’s most recognised brand in welding and cutting and we are proud to be involved in these landmark projects.”
