The Proclad Group is a well-known company in the oil and gas and petrochemical industry for a very long time.
The Proclad Group combines core manufacturing technologies of weld cladding, machining, forging, and induction bending supported by the strength of a major stockist and experienced engineering, purchasing and project management teams to provide customers worldwide with integrated, cost effective, reliable, engineering solutions.
The integration of manufacturing technologies and engineering knowledge and product expertise allows Proclad to handle every aspect of pipeline component design, manufacture and supply and to offer a comprehensive project management supply services.
The Group's product range includes weld clad pipe, lined pipe, induction bends, forgings, standard pipe and tube, flanges and fittings, which are used in the world's most demanding industrial environments, including the oil and gas, petrochemical, energy, aerospace and marine engineering sectors.
Proclad's history as a specialist engineering Group goes back more than 100 years to 1905 when one of the Group's current subsidiary companies commenced the design and manufacture of reciprocating pumps for the shipbuilding industry in the UK.
The Group's development into its current position as the worldwide leader and specialist in the provision of corrosion resistant weld clad pipe and pipeline components and a provider of a wide range of engineering products and services can be traced back to 1985 when the 'Proclad' weld cladding process was developed for use in the North Sea Oil sector in Europe.
The Proclad process provided a solution to the corrosive effect of the very sour North Sea oil and gas and resulted in substantially reduced pipe and pipeline component costs and extended pipe and component lifetimes.
During the 1990's Proclad established manufacturing sites in the Middle East and North America and since 2000 the Group has undergone substantial expansion, both in terms of widely increasing its range of manufacturing technologies, products, processes and services and in increasing its manufacturing sites and sales offices to provide it with global coverage.
A key element in Proclad's growth and success has been its ongoing focus and investment in research and development. This has resulted in continuous improvement in its products and processes, many of which have been patented.
Proclad have manufacturing sites combining the full range of the Group's products and process located in the Middle East, Europe, the Asia Pacific region, the CIS, and North America. Locations in the Middle East include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The manufacturing operations are supported by a global network of sales offices staffed by experienced technical sales managers and engineers.
Customers in any part of the world can place a single order covering all of their piping supply and machining requirements through their local regional sales office, secure in the knowledge that it will be comprehensively project managed by Proclad to ensure on time delivery meeting all specifications.
Proclad have been involved in major projects throughout the world and have provided products and services to many prestigious clients including the Adnoc Group, Saudi Aramco, BP, McDermott, RasGas, Shell, Statoil, Technip, FMC, ABB Vetco Gray, Cooper Cameron and many others.
