It has now announced plans to recruit at least 10 additional staff – 6 in Aberdeen and 4 in Longside – with roles in sales, welding and CNC operations likely to be available.

Mark Stephen, NXG operations director, said: “As a UK-based manufacturing business, we have been delighted by a rise in the number of enquiries from global oilfield service companies in recent weeks.

“There is great scope for further international growth, and we hope to make an announcement on that soon.

“In addition, the attainment of a world-leading certification is a testament to the capability of the NXG team and our quality management systems. This validation by API gives our customers even greater assurance with regards to the quality and standard of our offering.”
