Seanamic: Umbilicals International opens quayside manufacturing site
Umbilicals International has opened its new quayside manufacturing site in Channelview, Texas.
The site is beside the ship channel and houses the company’s flagship horizontal helix machine, extrusion line, and supporting equipment.
The company will add additional lines and handling equipment from Seanamic Groupcompany Caley Ocean Systems in 2018.
Bob Conners, CEO of Umbilicals International, said: “This site gives Umbilicals International a new and strong future. Our enhanced capabilities at Channelview, coupled with our established 100,000-sq ft [9,290-sq m] facility in Stafford, Texas, means we can offer an extensive range of cable and umbilical products which are an expected component of SURF packages.”
Three months ago, the company opened its UK facility in Glasgow, Scotland.
