Hunting PLC (LON:HTG) has announced the completion of its acquisition of Enpro Subsea for an initial US$33mln.
The acquired business has leading oil and gas subsea production technology. Hunting noted that the Enpro assets offer low cost, flexible field development solutions.
Notably, Enpro’s business focusses on technology and product development with manufacturing outsourced to third parties, and post-acquisition Hunting intends to bring this work in-house and then commercialise the technology across all the group’s key regional hubs.
"The acquisition of Enpro further strengthens Hunting's subsea offering and adds a high technology product group to our portfolio,” said Jim Johnson, Hunting chief executive.
