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.
