Paragon & Trintosyl Form Alliance
Paragon Engineering
In an effort to maximize local content and technology transfer, Houston-based Paragon Engineering Services Inc. and newly founded Trinidad-based Trintosyl Engineering Services (a Trintoplan Consultants Ltd. and Sylvester Engineering Ltd. joint venture) have formed a strategic alliance, Paragon announced.
Representatives from Paragon, Trintosyl and its founding partners, government officials, and the local energy industry launched the strategic alliance in Trinidad November 4, 2003.
Managing Director of Trintosyl P.A.D. Johnson, Paragon Chief Executive Officer Ken Arnold, Petrotrin Chairman Malcolm Jones, U.S. Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago Dr. Roy Austin, Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Energy and Energy Industries Eric A. Williams, Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Planning and Development Dr. Keith Rowley and Trintosyl's Director of Technical Services Trevor Sylvester addressed the gathering of around 50 attendees. Two weeks after the event, Williams visited Houston and toured Paragon's headquarters.
Arnold said that sharing Paragon's established core processes and emerging technology with Trintosyl will prove mutually beneficial.
"We are in the forefront of a movement using these processes to increase local content and at the same time further Paragon's growth by getting involved in more projects and doing what we do best -- conceptual design, project definition, worldwide procurement and construction management," he said. "Through our strategic alliance with Trintosyl, we at Paragon plan to provide training and professional development of personnel to build a Trinidad-based engineering firm capable of ever-increasing scopes of work for all types of oil and gas projects.
"We envision a company that will provide world-class engineering, procurement and construction management services to clients in Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector," Arnold said. "This new organization will maximize local content and technology transfer, building a strong foundation for Trinidad's economic growth and self-sufficiency. We are proud to be a part of this movement."
