NORTH-EAST company Aubin has agreed a strategic partnership with an agent in the Middle East to promote its range of specialist chemicals and services in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
Ellon-based Aubin, which supplies specialist chemicals to the energy industry, hopes the deal with Leaders Oilfield Equipment, which covers the provision of cement and stimulation additives, pipeline cleaning gels and other products, will help Aubin tap into Middle East markets potentially worth millions of pounds.
Managing director Paddy Collins said: “Partnerships such as this will support our development in the region and provide invaluable connections at a local level.”
Aubin, whose turnover rose 5% to £4.6million during the year to July 31, also has plans to expand into Iraq and Libya next year.
