Securing long-term value

The renewed agreement is for a period of 10 years.

Shuji Mori, a Yokogawa Vice President and President of Yokogawa Electric International, a subsidiary that oversees Yokogawa’s IA and control business outside Japan, had the following to say about this agreement: “BP has been a Yokogawa customer for many years, and this agreement takes our relationship to a new level and underscores BP’s commitment to safe and reliable operations. This long-term partnership with BP will increase our presence in the oil and gas industry, which is one of the main sectors we are targeting under the Transformation 2017 mid-term business plan.”
