of Piping Components for the Oil & Gas industry
Approved Quality Piping; Low Price vs. Actual Cost
In a typical processing installation, the Piping materials used amount from between 6% and 10% of the Total Investment Value (TIV). If your installation has a TIV of US $2 Million, your Piping materials will run at about $200,000 US.
At a 10% lesser price for questionable material, $20,000 has been saved. Only 1% of the Total Investment.
Because of their more random nature, smaller one-off purchases are at risk of an equal or greater impact. Though a seemingly small series of buys, each one of those items will very likely be installed as part of a high value and high-risk system.
Based on this, the question is what is the actual cost of inferior materials?
Don't take the chance.

Approved Manufacturers
High pressure, critical Piping systems are no place to cut corners.
Installation of unproven pipe system components in exchange for price savings is not an option. Failure anywhere within the system, at any point, can lead to any number of unwanted results.
At the center of the concern is the safety of the men and women tasked within proximity of the systems.
At a minimum is downtime, production loss, labour re-mobilization, replacement cost, and the ancillary issues including community, evironmental and potential legal impacts that come with a failure event.
It's for these reasons that the worlds IOC's have invested heavily in audits of Piping Component Manufacturers to ensure the most stringent adherence to Quality considerations and Standards in their manufacturing processes.
The Direct Link to Manufacturing
End-to-End vision of process flow
The benefit of 4 decades in the Industrial Distribution industry is exposure to all facets of it. We've learned Customer culture by having been invited on assignment in your offices, on-site, and in warehouses working alongside customer stakeholders. Solving problems, working through logistics, analyzing Customer owned Inventories, and walking through storerooms identifying materials. We've pioneered with them unique Supply-Chain solutions and Integrated Supply programs including multiple Vendors working together as one, and integrating with Customer ERP platforms such as SAP, JDE, and several others. We've taken numerous late night phone calls for emergency items and worked around the clock marshalling materials and delivering them ourselves for critical outages. We know the customer and how to service them.
We know our manufacturers and products equally as well. We must since they are the very starting point of our service. We've attended training at countless Pipe mills, Forging Shops, Flange Manufacturing and Fitting Manufacturing facilities. We must know the products we sell and companies that manufacture them.

The Key Link in your PVF Supply Chain
Single Contact
There is much written and studied about around the subject of SCM. Having served in many roles with the top 2 PVF Distributors in the world, we've learned it well, and being mindful of it is second nature here.
In the Oil and Gas Industry, the first major approach to SCM at the broader MRO Category level came in 1991 for operations on the North Slope of Alaska, a project in which we were invited to help tackle. Suffice it to say that the logistical, Supply Chain, and re-supply challenges continually faced were immense. Since then, SCM theories and solutions continued to evolve with refinements, new perspectives and sophistication, and obvious advancements in Technology.
From our perspective, as it relates to each Supplier or service provider, to secure a strong and efficient Supply Chain the starting basics remain the same to be built upon:
Every necessary Link in the chain must be as strong as the one before it, and as the one after it. They must be solid and perform their defined task appropriately and on time. They must be agile enough to adjust when adjustment is required so that each adjoining link may perform its job. To possess these characteristics they must be healthy to start with and remain healthy throughout each cycle.
Working with us, you are working with a partner that sees the whole picture beyond our immediate job. One that can see upstream into manufacturing and downstream as material flows after we've completed our task, and one that understands all links in the chain and acts accordingly to assure success in each transaction. We believe this helps set our performance apart.
The Pan Africa Advantage
Different from the restExperience and Knowledge
We offer 4 decades of Piping and Industrial Sales and Service experience for your benefit. Combined with our unique understanding of End User processes and our service region, we believe we are the first choice for your Supply Chain solutions in the PVF and Industrial space.Use Time to your Advantage
Time zones work to your advantage. Operating from Houston means by the time your day is half over, we're getting started. Often, you'll have replies waiting for you by the time you arrive the next day, and very often, the same day. Think of it as a head start on tomorrows deadlines.We know our Industry and the People that make it work
The key to success is understanding the products we sell and the manufacturing base for them. This is one of our core strengths and is paramount to optimizing your Supply Chain from beginning to end.Swift Response
Time is of the essence in the Oil and Gas business, and that lost production and completion delays can run into the millions of dollars. A mis-timed, 1 hour delay in a crucial response can result in days lost in critical decisions on the operational end. Hours count, and we know it.
