Bosses at Viking SeaTech say they have completed an integration process after the Aberdeen offshore support firm’s £150million sale.
Viking, owned previously by banking group HSBC, is in US hands after being snapped up by Wisconsin-based Actuant last August.
The workforce of more than 150 people at Viking was expected to mushroom since the acquisition by Actuant, a diversified industrial firm with operations in more than 30 countries.
“We are now integrated and ready for further growth,” Viking chief executive Bill Bayliss said.
He added: “With the backing of our parent company, we possess great strength in numbers and are financially secure.
“Our leadership team spans four continents and possesses a wealth of valued industry experience.
“Such know-how has been instrumental in steering Viking SeaTech into new territories, cultivating customer relationships and developing business lines in our existing regions.”
Viking carries out engineering services including mooring analysis and modelling for rig locations and moves. It diversified recently into broader asset-management work.
Viking, previously Viking Moorings, was founded in 1985 as a sub-division – Balmoral Marine – of the Aberdeen-based Balmoral Group. It is now part of Actuant’s energy division.
