Mechanical engineering company EnerMech is to open a second Norwegian site as part of a £3million investment to grow its Scandinavian business.
The new base and workshop in Bergen was selected to be closer to Norway’s largest shipyards and to offer a rapid response service to clients.
The expansion will take EnerMech’s headcount in Norway to 50, and the company expects the new site to grow in line with its Stavanger operation which has seen annual growth of 50-80% over four years.
EnerMech’s general manager in Norway, Trond Moller, said: “After four years of steady growth in Stavanger, opening in Bergen is a natural fit as the city is an important centre for Norway’s oil, gas and subsea industries.
“This will give us access to Norway’s largest yard market and we are confident there will be a strong demand for our cranes, rental equipment, hydraulics and PPU (process, pipeline and umbilicals) services.”
