Aberdeen subsea manufacturers Hydro Group are to continue their expansion into South Asia after appointing a new technical support supervisor for the region.
The company, which employs 85 people, opened a new Singapore office to support its growing customer base in the area.
Former naval technician and trainer Gabriel Tan, currently based at the Aberdeen headquarters, will be trained in Scotland for four months before managing the technical suppor team in Asia.
“Hydro Group has invested close to £300,000 in developing the South East Asia operation, with plans to invest further and increase staff numbers considerably,” said managing director Doug Whyte.
“These significant developments mean we are on track for the Singapore office to become self-sufficient by the end of 2014.
“We are already moving onto the next phase of development ahead of schedule, appointing two new members of staff to the Singapore office, with the key appointment of Gabriel Tan as technical support supervisor.”
Singapore represents Hydro Group’s second largest export market, with the company identifying more than £1million of potential sales in the region per year.
