JW Automarine Ltd Expands its JWA HIRE Network
Monday, 19th April 2021
JW Automarine Ltd has opened a second JWA HIRE facility in Norfolk, England. This new unit will act as a supply and service hub for the main JWA HIRE headquarters in Aberdeen, Scotland.
JWA HIRE was launched in early 2020 to offer manufacturer-certified water weight load test bags and subsea air lift bags to the Oil and gas sector and beyond.
While the industry has suffered, JW Automarine’s expansion and development have continued as it works to ensure it is best placed to meet its customers’ requirements moving forward.
Other investments have included rebranding the business, a new website, and investments in the company’s business infrastructure, including HIRE-specific asset management software.
The opening of the new site is a further business development since MD Chris Dawson acquired JW Automarine in June 2020. Commenting on the announcement:
“Having been there at the start of water weight load test bag development and production, it is a natural progression for us to offer our bags for HIRE. The divers, engineers and technicians using these bags are often in difficult and dangerous environments. We reassure them of a globally accepted quality product, tested and certified by the manufacturer”.
Since 1972 JW Automarine has led the way in PVC & PU welded fabric technology. Its distinctive yellow bags with the Diver logo are the industry standard for Load Test Bags & Lift bags, while its Marine, Custom & Forces divisions supply solutions to a diverse range of industries and end users globally.
