Energy services firm ATR has opened a new base in Kazakhstan as it looks to capitalize on recent business growth in the region.

The company will initially employ 12 new personnel, 10 of which are local, with plans to double the team over the next 12 months, according to an ATR representative.

The decision to increase its presence in the country comes after ATR secured business to supply lifting equipment and regulatory inspection and maintenance services to support projects for ‘some of the world’s leading energy services companies,’ the company revealed.

“Our base in Kazakhstan is important strategically as it allows us to support all of Centurion’s companies throughout the region. We will be able to provide the full range of our services in country, all equipment and staff are there and ready to go to work,” Findlay Moir, ATR divisional director, said in a company statement.

“The locally based workforce will operate closely with our Baku business supported from our Aberdeen headquarters,” he added.

Centurion Group comprises nine companies - ATR, Conserve Oilfield Services, Jack Winches, Mining Camps Australia, RentAir Offshore, Safety & Technical Hydraulics Ltd, Seanic Ocean Systems, UES and Tristar Water Solutions.

ATR merged with Centurion Group last year. The new office in Kazakhstan marks ATR’s expansion into its 20th location.
