Forum Energy Technologies Adds European Distributor

Forum Energy Technologies said it has appointed a new single distributor for its extensive fleet of subsea vehicles across The Netherlands and Belgium.

Seascape Subsea Technology BV will represent Forum Energy Technologies for the sale of the company’s range of remote operated vehicles (ROV) in the two countries, including its recently launched electric ROV, the XLe Spirit.

Designed and built in-house at Forum’s Kirkbymoorside facility in Yorkshire, the XLe Spirit is the first offering from the company’s new generation of electric observation class ROVs.

“Subsea Technology BV provides us with another strong channel complimentary to our existing framework to deliver Forum’s world-class range of reliable and well-built ROVs,” said Malcolm Johnston, Forum’s Sales Manager subsea vehicles. “This agreement ensures that our clients in The Netherlands and Belgium receive the same streamlined and consistent support they are accustomed to around the globe.”

Johnston added that Forum will engage with current and new companies through Seascape Subsea Technology BV to grow its foothold in Europe.

Seascape Director, Martijn Juijn, commented, “To be able to represent one of the most extensive ranges of subsea vehicles in the world will allow Seascape to explore new market opportunities in this territory."
