AFGlobal completes integration of VerdErg Connectors

Following the acquisition at the beginning of this summer, AFGlobal Corporation has announced that it has completed its integration of VerdErg Connectors Limited, a UK based supplier of customised subsea pipeline and control connection systems.

Broad connectors and sealing technologies portfolio

This acquisition strengthens AFGlobal’s international OEM position in the offshore oil and gas industry. It also broadens the products and services within the company’s connectors and sealing technologies business unit.

AFGlobal’s position in deepwater production is further augmented with the inclusion of VerdErg’s field proven diverless connection solutions for jumpers, pipelines, production risers, umbilicals, repair and ROV tooling, as well as direct management of the fabrication, system integration, maintenance support and aftermarket care.

“The advantage for our clients is that we can now offer systems – from diver-assisted bolted connections to topside flanges and fittings to advanced deepwater diverless connection solutions – supporting an entire project from one source,” commented Gean Stalcup, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We will continue to build on our strategy to create reliable and cost-effective production solutions for the industry.”
