Newfoundland Marine Safety Systems Opens
as Survitec Newfoundland |
Survitec Group Invests in St. John’s Growing
Offshore Oil & Gas Community
Survitec Group Limited - a global leader in
critical safety and survival solutions - has
announced the acquisition of Newfoundland Marine
Safety Systems in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland,
Canada.
Simon Withey, Survitec Group Chief Executive
Officer, commented on the new business: "Survitec
Group has carefully chosen a strong partner in
the local market as a strategic location to
ensure we offer the highest quality service and
a complete range of on board survival equipment
to the regional Oil & Gas industry."
The Survitec Group Newfoundland service station
in Mount Pearl (located just outside of St.
John’s) will provide inspection, servicing and
sales of lifesaving appliances including
SurvitecZodiac and DBC liferafts, SOLAS rescue
boats, McMurdo EPIRBs, and Imperial Immersion
suits. It will also serve as the primary site
location for the Suncor Helicopter Passenger
Transit Suit System (HPTSS) that was recently
awarded to Survitec Group Vancouver. The site
will manage the distribution and maintenance of
the HPTSS programme for the Newfoundland region
and was one of the key drivers to making this
acquisition.
