GranIHC Services will focus on providing integrated services to customers in the oil and gas industry such as offshore maintenance and repair, logistical services and infrastructure facilities.
The new organisation is set to leverage GranEnergia's operational platform in Brazil, as well as IHC’s expertise in designing and servicing offshore vessels and equipment.
IHC Latin America executive director Adriano Fernandes said: “The partnership with Gran is a strategic move for IHC. It has been our goal to increase our local presence, especially in the services area.
“With GranIHC, we can combine Brazilian entrepreneurship with our tradition of more than 300 years in designing and building specialist equipment and vessels.”
GranIHC will serve all stages of the value chain, including the design, construction, installation, maintenance and decommissioning of equipment and vessels.
