STATS Group strengthens North American capability with senior appointment and major US expansion

Pipeline technology specialist STATS Group (STATS) has reinforced its commitment to the North American market with the appointment of experienced pipeline integrity professional Sebastiaan Schuite as US Sales Manager. Based in Houston, Schuite joins STATS as the company continues to expand its presence across the United States with the recent opening of a new 80,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Rosenberg, Texas, and the doubling in size of its Houston service facility.

STATS are market leaders in the supply of pressurised pipeline isolation, hot tapping and line stopping services, enabling safe and efficient maintenance and repair of onshore, topsides and subsea pipeline infrastructure.
