In order to strengthen the cooperative relationship with European steam turbine manufacturer and maintain good communication, Weidong Zhao, the deputy general manager of HGT, led a team to Italy on August 7, 2023, to visit the headquarters of Baker Hughes.
The former Italian Nueve Pignone Company was founded in Florence, Italy in 1842, mainly producing reciprocating compressors, centrifugal compressors, steam turbines and gas turbines, from parts processing to machine assembly, all were completed in the factory. In 1994, it was acquired by GE. In 2017, GE completed the acquisition of Baker Hughes and merged into one company, the oil and gas business of GE was incorporated into Baker Hughes. However, after two years of short-term cooperation, GE chose to sell Baker Hughes again. In 2019, BHGE changed its company name to Baker Hughes Company, without “GE” title.
HGT established contact with Baker Hughes in 2008, and directly or indirectly served nearly a hundred units that delivered by BH. After the spin-off and independence, BH has performed very aggressively in the market. Since this year, BH has purchased our equipment for 6 projects. At the same time, (formerly New Billund) took advantage of the influence of Baker Hughes in the field of oil services, actively involved in the field of FPSO, and guided HGT to participate in the FPSO business of offshore platforms, and guided the studying of Classification Society Certification. Nearly two years, we have successively provided condensing systems for steam turbine generator sets of Brazil Yinson FPSO, ExxonMobil Guyana FPSO, and ENI Angola FPSO.
In this visiting, the two sides respectively introduced past development achievements. Mr. Rossano, the procurement director of Baker Hughes, expressed his gratitude to HGT for the technical and commercial support on its projects at first, meanwhile, congratulated the two parties reaching a new level of cooperation in 2023. And said that they would review the lube oil console of HGT again. Secondly, hoping that HGT can strengthen technical communication actively, promote the design progress through meetings online, gain time for production and ensure delivery on-time under the premise of ensuring quality; Finally, asking that if it is possible to have a dedicated team responsible for its quotation & design & project execution, he is optimistic and positive about the strategic cooperation between the two parties, and expects HGT to become a stable auxiliary equipment manufacturer in the Asia-Pacific region of Baker Hughes, and jointly face the higher requirements market.
