(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- MAN Energy Solutions is strengthening its presence in the Middle East with a new service workshop opened for the oil and gas sector in Oman.
On Tuesday, the new facility in Rusayl was inaugurated by H E Eng Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil and Gas, Dr Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN Energy Solutions SE and Maqbool Hameed al Saleh, chairman of OHI, in the presence of the heads of leading companies from Oman and abroad.
The new MAN PrimeServ one-stop workshop in Oman was built under a joint venture between MAN Energy Solutions and its local agent OHI Petroleum and Energy Services (OPES).
One of the main goals of the local entity set up by MAN Energy Solutions and OHI is to offer privileged services to important customers like PDO,
Orpic and others in the region. In addition to that, Oman benefits from good transport and logistics links to the other five GCC states, making it a strategically favourable location to cover the regions' needs for repairs and refurbishments of critical rotating equipment.
'As the only original equipment manufacturer with a state-of-the-art service workshop in Oman, MAN Energy Solutions sets a key milestone within the oil and gas market,' Dr Lauber said. 'Together with OHI, we will use our renowned turbomachinery expertise and the larger capacities to increase our support towards customers in the Middle East.'
During the inauguration, Saleh said, 'We are proud that this new workshop contributes significantly to the in-country value in terms of investment, value retainment and more importantly in fostering training and employment objectives for the nationals. We see this joint venture as an enduring partnership, which will contribute to the sultanate and set a new benchmark in this service sector. We are grateful for all the support we have received on this venture and we look forward to serving our customers with excellence.'
