Pressure Tech shortlisted for prestigious supply chain award

Pressure Tech is extremely pleased and proud to have been shortlisted for a prestigious industry award. The company is one of just seven to have been selected as a finalist for the EIC Award for Supply Chain Excellence 2014.

The EIC (Energy Industries Council) is the leading trade association for UK businesses supplying goods and services to energy industries around the globe. It launched the award in 2013 to identify and celebrate a member organisation that ‘has demonstrated a superior level of supply chain performance’. Now in its second year, with entries up by 20 percent, the accolade is highly prized as recognition of exceptional delivery within the sector.

Fierce competition

Established in 1943, the EIC now has three UK offices and bases in four continents worldwide. Collectively, its membership employs more than a million people and generates over £100 billion in revenues, operating across the oil and gas, petrochemical, pipeline, power, nuclear and renewable industries. Given the scale and standard of the competition for the Award for Supply Chain Excellence, Pressure Tech is delighted to see the results of its team’s expertise, insight and dedication picked out by the independent judging panel.

The heavyweight panel contained representatives from some of the world’s most influential energy operators and contractors, including BP, SSE Power Distribution, Centrica, EDF Energy and Sasol, all looking for that stand-out engineered solution.

Exceptional product

Pressure Tech has been specifically recognised for the design, manufacture and introduction to market of the LF-690 Hydraulic Pressure Regulator. Created to improve the reliability and repeatability of pressure control to subsea systems, the LF- 690 is resistant to shock loads and unstable resonating, utilises ceramic seating to resist cavitation and features a lower access plug to make servicing easier. The subsea valve actuator has been adapted into a version for use down to 3,000 metres.

Charlotte Hust, UK Regional Manager (Southern) at the EIC, said: ‘All of the shortlisted entries clearly display a new or improved product, service or initiative that is commercially available and has offered proven tangible benefits to clients. With more entries this year, the judging panel had a difficult task to agree on a shortlist, but they have unanimously agreed upon these seven exceptional entries.’

The Pressure Tech team must now wait until 16th October, when the winner of the award will be announced in a short presentation ceremony at the EIC National Dinner, to be held in the Central Hall at the Natural History Museum and attended by representatives from across the industry.
