Aker Solutions today completed the acquisition of oil-services provider Reinertsen, building on its position as a leading maintenance and modifications supplier offshore Norway. Reinertsen, the third-largest maintenance and modifications supplier offshore Norway with about 700 employees, has its main offices in Trondheim and Bergen, where Aker Solutions also has a solid presence. The company’s order backlog contains key maintenance and modifications contracts with Statoil, including a minimum six-year framework agreement awarded in December 2015. It also has some smaller subsea services and engineering contracts. The companies worked together from 2002 to 2010 on projects offshore Norway through the Aker Reinertsen joint venture. Reinertsen employees in Trondheim and Bergen will be moved to local Aker Solutions offices as part of synergies to be generated. (Source: Aker Solutions)
