Corrosion and anti-fouling, in particular, are challenges coming more and more to the forefront as everything moves further offshore and into ever deeper waters. The need for innovation, and quickly, has never been greater. OES Group is a company in its infancy, but its pioneering thinking has led to fast growth and an abundance of new ideas. We sat down with Commercial Director Frits Verbruggen to find out more.
PES: It’s great to speak with you Frits and I’m looking forward to learning more about OES Group and how it serves the wind industry. Could you give a little background to how the company was formed and what it is that you do, to start off with?
Frits Verbruggen: OES Group was founded in 2018, and I became a shareholder in 2019, along with my business partner Robert Forsyth. Originally we offered anti-fouling systems for the wind, oil and gas industries and because of our reputation within the industry as corrosion specialists we began to be asked for help with this too.
