Aubin, which is headquartered in Ellon, and has a base in the UAE, also said it had posted a year-end profit of £370,000 in spite of challenging market conditions.

“We are actively building our presence in the region by forging strong partnerships within the energy sector and identifying opportunities to manufacture our unique chemicals across the region.
“We are also very excited by the prospects this year brings, as we near the introduction of game changing technologies across a number of energy and non-energy sectors.
“To achieve the financial results that we have, given the challenges is a true credit to the determination and expertise of our team and I’m grateful to them for really stepping up to the plate during the last 12 months.”
