There’s no denying that the machinery used in the oil and gas industry is really put through the wringer, exposed to a variety of extreme conditions, from corrosive environments to high pressures and temperatures.
That’s why you need to be able to rely on the services of your supplier and the quality of the high-criticality fasteners used to hold it all together.
Anything less than the highest standard of materials and manufacturing could have potentially catastrophic consequences, risking not only your operation but the safety of your staff.
During an emergency or stoppage caused by issues with your machinery and equipment, your business is at the mercy of your fastener supplier. Choosing the wrong company to handle it could end up causing unnecessary downtime, costing you more due to volatile oil prices.
In this article, we explore the reasons why high-criticality fasteners from Wulfrun are ideal for the oil and gas industry, and why our clients choose us to manufacture their critical components time and time again.
