Aberdeen flange tool kings awarded for export growth
Scottish-headquartered Equalizer International – which designs and develops flange maintenance tools for the energy sector – has been recognised for its Achievement in International Business by an Aberdeen business association.
The latest award recognises the company’s success in increasing its global presence after opening its first overseas base in Houston two years ago. It now sells its products to more than 50 countries through a network of distributors in six continents.
In January 2015, Equalizer International launched two new divisions – Equalizer Americas and Equalizer Asia – under the banner of the Equalizer Group. The company was set up in 1994 in Aberdeen.
Ian McCormick, Chairman, Equalizer Group, commented: “We really value this award because it recognises the work which has gone in around the world to support our growth.
“We truly are a global company, with more than 85% of our sales now coming from exporting.
“However we also want to ensure that we continue to have strong visibility in the local oil and gas market so that we can benchmark our company and our products against others operating in this very niche market.”
