Vallourec provides threading services at Baker Hughes the energy technology company facilities in Singapore. Previously, the threading of VAM® connections was performed by the customer under license. It is now carried out by Vallourecs teams in a brand-new threading cell at their premises.
This installation allows for complete flexibility along with the expertise and high-quality standards offered by the team. It also represents a major improvement in terms of transportation and logistics. It is now able to satisfy accessory requests within a few days reducing lead times by approximately 50%. Furthermore, less handling of heavy parts will reduce safety risks and potential damage to the customers goods.
VAPC (Vallourec Asia Pacific Corp.) has been supporting VAM® users in the region from its dedicated accessories plant in Singapore for 5 years. More generally, it provides a full range of products and services to support Oil & Gas equipment manufacturers as well as operators based in the region whose projects require high added-value tubular solutions.
This new threading cell demonstrates Vallourecs commitment to be even closer to its customers. Especially in the current context, the Group is more than ever pursuing its strategy of forging or strengthening lasting partnerships with its clients to help them improve the performance of their operations while ensuring the safety and reducing costs.
