Middle East contracts bring in £2.7m for Aberdeen firm
Aberdeen-headquartered ICR Group, a global maintenance and integrity solutions firm, together with its regional partners, has secured $3.5 million (£2.67m) in contracts in the Middle East over the past four months.
ICR’s flagship brand, Technowrap, has been instrumental in driving growth in the Middle East. The increasing interest highlights the commitment to extending the lifespan of critical assets without the need to shut down.
Technowrap provides a long-term alternative to traditional steel replacement, often with a design life of up to 20 years. The quick application can significantly reduce downtime, leading to cost savings, while offering up to a 66% reduction in carbon emissions (compared to replacement; time saved; no shutdowns).
ICR’s operations are supported by its Abu Dhabi office and strategic partner agreements with companies, enabling local service delivery of the product range across the Middle East.
Jim Beveridge, CEO of ICR, said: “Our recent success in the Middle East is a testament to the expertise of our team and local partners.
“The proven reliability of our products and services positions ICR to enhance operational efficiency and protect critical infrastructure, all while minimising environmental impact. I am confident in our ongoing success in the region as demand continues to grow.”
Aftab Shaikh, business development manager at ICR, based in Abu Dhabi, said: “The suite of ICR products continue to generate significant interest due to their ability to support production uptime.
“Our local partners help us to leverage regional expertise and market knowledge, ensuring tailored solutions and faster service delivery each time.”
