Offshore staff

ESBJERG, Denmark -- Parker Instrumentation has signed a five-year preferred supplier agreement for tube fittings with Maersk Oil.

The agreement, which runs until 2012, is expected to provide a logistical model for the companies' partnership worldwide.

To support the agreement, Parker Instrumentation has opened a new products center in Esbjerg, close to Maersk's headquarters.

"A shorter, tighter supply chain is increasingly important to our customers," says Dorthe Pedersen of Parker Instrumentation Denmark. "We already have a global supply chain in place to support key areas in the offshore industry. This new 'proximity' strategy goes one step further, allowing us to provide an extremely responsive service while helping our customers simplify purchasing and streamline inventory."
