17th May 2011: The Finnish Viafin Group (Viafin West Welding Oy) as a major player in manufacturing of Pressure Vessels & Heat Exchangers and M7 Offshore AS as a solution provider within Offshore Engineering and Project Management have signed a letter of intent for cooperation on the Norwegian market. A special purpose company registered in Norway will be formed to market, sell and manage projects for pressure vessels and heat exchangers.

Marko Sipola, CEO in Viafin Group (including Viafin West Welding) says: “We have for a while been searching for a Norwegian partner for our now increased focus on the Norwegian market. We have a major market position in many product segments and geographical areas, but in Norway we have not been able to achieve the leading position yet. We believe a partner with strong knowledge of process engineering will add value to our business and together we are able to give better service to our customers in Norway”.

Nils-Erik Hannisdal, CEO in M7 Offshore AS ads: “We are pleased to be the partner to such a strong player in this industry. With our personnel’s long history within research and engineering within vessels and process systems it made sense for us to expand our business in this direction”
