Aberdeen-based Wellhead Electrical Supplies (WES), providers of electrical and hazardous area equipment, have announced a new collaboration that is set to drive growth in the offshore industry.

Thanks to a recently renewed partnership agreement with Orga, WES has upgraded its range of Tideland signal marine lanterns and supportive spares, in a deal that marks a significant step change for the offshore and marine sectors.

The partnership between WES and Orga aligns with Wellhead’s growth trajectory as the company steps up to become the leading global supplier of Tideland signal products and the only partner in the world to hold stock items. WES has been working alongside Orga for over 25 years, with this new agreement lighting the way for a new chapter to bring a host of benefits to an existing client base and prospective new markets. 

Tideland Signal, part of the Orga Group, manufactures a wide range of Aids to Navigation such as marine lanterns which are extensively used in the North Sea. The new agreement will allow existing navigation aids to be maintained and fully functional. 

With operational safety being the cornerstone of the offshore industry, Orga’s products adhere to stringent global governing body regulations, such as the marine lanterns which are designed to show the presence of offshore structures and vessels at night and in all environmental conditions. Orga’s marine lanterns provide 360-degree omnidirectional visual coverage up to a maximum of 15 nautical miles. Together with products such as foghorns, Racons, Control panels and remote power solutions, they form part of a broader navigational aids system. 

Commenting, Dan Eager, of WES, said: 
“We are delighted to be strengthening our partnership with an established and reputable company such as Orga. 

“Our combined knowledge will benefit not only our business, but also the wider offshore industry with a large inventory of specialist and innovative equipment readily available in Aberdeen, resulting in improved performance and greater cost efficiency for our clients.

“We have been working with Orga since we took their products to the UK market in 1998 so our knowledge of this range is unparalleled, and we also have the experience of introducing a new product rage and facilitating it effectively.”

With approximately 200 employees, Orga has offices across Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia.

Jeroen van Wolferen, Regional Sales Manager, Orga, added, 
“To continue a productive working relationship with WES to deliver innovative equipment to the offshore industry is critically important as we uphold our commitment to protect our people, assets, and the environment.

“We know how important it is to find the right trusted partner to deliver our solutions to customers all over the world and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Wellhead Electrical Supplies.”
