Norway: Ferguson Group to Launch New Product at ONS 2012

The Ferguson Group, specialists in the rental of containers and accommodation/workspace modules to the global offshore energy industry, is to launch a new product at ONS 2012.

Ferguson Norge, a division of the Ferguson Group, will announce the launch of its first FIBC (Ferguson Intermediate Bulk Container) at ONS, where the Group exhibits at stand U36.

The FIBC, developed specifically for the Norwegian market, is designed and manufactured to DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 and has capacity for two International Bulk Chemical (IBC) carriers. The product has multiple tie-down points for safe and secure transportation, with cargo restraining nets available on request.

Morten Smith, Ferguson Norge country manager, said: “I am delighted to be able to offer our customers this product, which came about as a result of listening to our clients’ requirements. Product development is key to the success of our container business and Ferguson Norge prides itself on providing the highest levels of customer service, product quality and reliability.”

The Ferguson Group has recently increased its presence within Norway to meet the growing demands of clients in the region. In March 2012, Ferguson Norge relocated to larger, purpose-built facilities at Risavika Havnering 281, Tananger.

Steven Ferguson, chairman and CEO of the Ferguson Group, said: “We have made a good start to 2012 with our first six months trading results in line with the plan which was set.

“This has been an exciting period of growth for the company globally, expanding our international premises and in turn the availability of products. This has allowed us to meet the growing needs of clients in the region whilst maintaining the Ferguson Group values – to provide high-quality products, short lead times and exceptional customer support in all of our locations.”

The Ferguson Group will be exhibiting at ONS from 28-31 August.
