The company will add additional lines and handling equipment fromSeanamic Group company Caley Ocean Systems in 2018.

Bob Conners, CEO of Umbilicals International, said: “This site gives Umbilicals International a new and strong future. Our enhanced capabilities at Channelview, coupled with our established 100,000-sq ft [9,290-sq m] facility in Stafford, Texas, means we can offer an extensive range of cable and umbilical products which are an expected component of SURF packages.”

Three months ago, the company opened its UK facility in Glasgow, Scotland.
