Hydro Group Unveils New Capabilities at Subsea Expo

Aberdeen based, Hydro Group, a global designer and manufacturer of underwater cables and connectors for subsea, underwater, topside and onshore applications, will unveil new machinery and subsea cabling capabilities at the Subsea Expo in Aberdeen. 

Graham Wilkie, Sales Director at Hydro Group said: “Having recently invested a six-figure sum on new state-of-the-art multi-layered steel armoured cabling machinery, it was important to identify the right opportunity to showcase this significant addition to our current capabilities and how this can enhance the quality of work we produce. 

“The Subsea Expo has grown significantly in recent years, and as an Aberdeen headquartered company that continues to develop products from prototype concept through to design and manufacture in Scotland, the show represents a good opportunity to bring these new capabilities to a large target audience.” 

Expanding the product offering and capabilities has also meant the creation of new jobs for Hydro Group. Staff numbers at the firms Aberdeen base have risen to over 100 for the first time and projected turnover for 2015 is predicted to rise by 12%, thanks to increased development of new and existing markets, the company wrote.

Continuing Wilkie said, “Having recently secured more than £2 million worth of subsea contracts, thanks to existing and new capabilities, we will use the Subsea Expo as an opportunity to build on this success and demonstrate our extended product offering that includes hose bundle assemblies, dynamic HV cable, vectran braiding and steel wire armouring for high strain applications for all electrical and fibre optic subsea applications.”
