Glacier Energy Services' Offshore division has opened its first international base, in Singapore, investing £250,000 to set up office, workshop and warehouse facilities to support ongoing growth across the Asia-Pacific region.

Glacier is targeting turnover of £3million in year one of operations in the Asia-Pacific, and is embarking on a recruitment campaign to build its staff in the Far East, after appointing Tony Pont as regional general manager, and Kwok Kin Yuen Gary as operations manager.

They will lead the business' service delivery to the region from its new facility, in Jurong, Singapore, which covers 1,500 sq.ft of office, and 4,000 sq.ft of warehouse and workshop space.

Glacier's client base in the region includes Bredero Shaw, Cameron, Wasco, Oilstates, FMC, Technip, Franks International, FTV Proclad and Saipem.

Assets from Glacier's Roberts Pipeline Machining and Site Machining Services businesses, including a complete range of portable flange facing, drilling, Clyde pipecutting and milling machines, as well as spares, are being stocked in Singapore, ready for mobilisation across the region.
