EnerMech will offer Parker products for client needs in hydraulics, pneumatics, filtration, instrumentation, fluid connectors and seals, and will recruit additional staff across Australia to support the new service.

It has invested in stock and hose manufacturing equipment in key locations across both the east and western coasts of Australia as both firms collaborate to develop product-specific training programs for staff to enhance expertise in Parker’s portfolio.

EnerMech hydraulics manager in Australia, Grant Marson, said the deal would add value to its clients in the Australian oil and gas industries.

“Having engaged with our clients and listened to feedback from the market, we recognised an opportunity to provide specialist expertise in the specification and application of fluid power and control technologies to the oil and gas sector in Australia,” Marson said.

“This agreement ensures that EnerMech is well placed to support existing and potential clients as the industry transitions towards an operational and maintenance environment, where quality products supported by service excellence will become essential elements in providing value for money.”

EnerMech has operations in eight Australian cities, including Perth, Gladstone, Darwin and Melbourne, and employs more than 500 staff in its Australian region, with numbers expected to grow to more than 700 in the next year.

The company has operations in 20 countries and is represented in all of the global oil and gas hubs where it provides a broad range of mechanical services, including cranes and lifting, valves, hydraulics, industrial services, process, pipeline and umbilicals, equipment rental and training services.
