Technor finds a sub-sea niche  
Technor’s cage ball control valve
Technor Group has carved out a profitable niche supplying technology to the global oil and gas, sub-sea, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and power transmission industries.

After aligning its focus to core businesses in 2005, the company has since reported strong growth figures.

Through its sales offices or production sites in locations ranging from Norway, Britain, France, Italy, Brazil, Houston, Singapore and Egypt to Dubai, Technor has demonstrated its expertise to customers around the world.

The company’s ElectroTech division provides products and solutions to transmit and use electricity in potentially hazardous situations.

Its sub-sea division supplies major control system components for power distribution and signaling to underwater structures. After proving its skill in integration testing and system installation, it has recently expanded to include consultancy services for sub-sea engineering and development.

Headed by Senior Vice-President Oddbj rn Kopperstad, the FlowTech division focuses on flow technology and materials, as well as manufactures valves for a wide range of applications.

“We have a world-leading position in supplying gate, globe, check and butterfly valves to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers. We also have a strong product range targeting energy generation and plants as well as LNG storage, liquefaction, and re-gasification,” Kopperstad said.

“We can provide valves of all common types and any size. Our experience has demonstrated our capability to handle the combination of high pressure and low temperatures,” he added. “We also provide valve solutions for our applications as well as any type of application where product quality matters. We are now looking towards China to increase our out-sourcing, and perhaps more importantly, to be closer to future customers in order to provide sales, maintenance, repair and service.”

The company is in a strong position to grow both organically and through further acquisitions, Kopperstad said.
