London-headquartered energy services provider Hunting has acquired compatriot Flexible Engineered Solutions (FES), a move made to strengthen its subsea growth and support the company’s 2030 ambitions.

FES is based in Ashington and is focused on the design, manufacture, and testing of highly engineered fluid transfer solutions for floating production and storage and offloading units (FPSOs) and complex subsea distribution systems used in long-cycle offshore and deepwater developments, Hunting said.

According to Hunting, FES has been fully integrated into the company, strengthening its ability to deliver scalable subsea solutions, unlocking cross-selling and portfolio-bundling opportunities, and supporting engagement across the full life of a field.
