PARIS -- Technip is expanding its Angoflex umbilical manufacturing plant in Lobito, Angola to meet growing demand for longer length and larger diameter products from the West African market.
The Angoflex plant expansion will include the installation of two large manufacturing carousels, an upgrade to a helical lay-up machine, and a load-out roller path.
Expansion is scheduled to be completed in 2010.
Established in 2002, Angoflex is a joint venture between Technip and the Angolan national oil company Sonangol.
