Performance director of STC INSISO, Steve Holmes, said: “These partnerships, both global and strategic, are the realisation of our vision to grow the company by working collaboratively with key partners in targeted international markets and industrial sectors. While the oil and gas industry remains a key market for our performance improvement products and services, parallel to that we are keen to diversify into a wider range of sectors including transportation, utilities, construction and renewable energy.

“The ethos of Hatley Engineering and Applied Technologies Inc and our wider collective of partners aligns very much with our own – they are passionate about helping clients achieve sustained performance improvement, efficient operations and enhanced profitability. We plan to work closely with them going forward, not simply as agents of our products, but as partners in the design, development and implementation phases of client projects.”

This aligns perfectly with our mission to contribute to a step-change improvement in the resource industry. COMET will assist us in ensuring accurate causal analysis, which ultimately will lead to more effective preventative and corrective action for our clients.
