HAZARDOUS AREA ELECTRICAL SAFETY SPECIALIST
OPENS NEW SALES OFFICE IN SHANGHAI
A new dedicated Shanghai technical and sales office has been established by
Hawke International, the
leading specialist in ATEX
approved cable gland
technology for electrical safety in hazardous areas. The company will share premises and resources with
Chalmit Lighting,
Killark and Victor Lighting
who are fellow members of the Hubbell
Electric Products Group.
With a population of 1.3 billion people and an annual economic growth rate of nine percent, China is the second largest consumer of petrochemicals after the USA. This is a growing market where Hawke must provide a high level of local support to encourage the specification and adoption of their products.
Oil and gas exploration and production is one of the largest markets for Hawke products. Previously, the Chinese regions were supported by Hawke’s Asia office based in Singapore. However, the increasing demand for Hawke explosion protected connection products in China requires strong local sales and technical support.
Commenting on the move, managing director James Phillips explained, “Oil consumption in China is rising due to surging industrialisation at an average annual rate of 7.5 percent. Vehicle numbers increased by 19 percent last year and we see strong demand for our products in exploration, production and refining.”
Hawke cable glands, connectors and terminal boxes are certified for compliance with health and safety requirements by leading test houses throughout the world; they are the preferred choice for many international energy companies.
