Aberdeenshire safety consultancy Optimus Seventh Generation said yesterday it expected a new tie-up with a Malaysian business to create 10 jobs.
Westhill-based Optimus also predicted the “teaming agreement” with Kuala Lumpur firm SynergenOG would allow it to further expand its presence in Asia after a recent contract win with COSL Drilling Pan Pacific in Indonesia.
Chief executive Derek Smith said the firm was excited about the take-up of its safety improvement products in the UK and believed they were ideal for a fast-developing Asian market.
The tie-up with SynergenOG was an ideal opportunity to build the company’s presence in the region, he added.
Optimus was launched in 2003 and has offices in Aberdeen, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, and Perth, Western Australia.
