The Saga group continues to grow its product range, explains Kim Sadler, Saga PCE’s director for International Marketing & Operations
Saga group commenced business in Indonesia in the 1980’s, manufacturing primary cementing equipment. In 2000, Liner hanger equipment and services were developed and added to their product range. 2009 saw the group set up a regional office in Singapore to manage international marketing and distribution with satellite sales offices in Mexico, Brazil and Dubai.
In 2014, the company acquired the assets of Lancaster Flow Automation in Houston, a company manufacturing and supplying automated production chokes.
Saga then added inflatable casing packers to its product range in 2016.
Saga Indonesia formed a collaboration with Silver Fox, USA in 2019 under a licensing agreement to manufacture production packers in Indonesia.
Saga’s Indonesian manufacturing subsidiary, PT Sagatrade Murni, currently holds API 10D, API 5CT, API 11D1 & API Specification Q1 certifications. In 2011, PT Sagatrade Murni acquired a threading license from Voest Alpine, Austria, to thread VA’s range of proprietary premium casing and tubing connections.
As Mr Sadler went on to explain, “We have tried to be as strategic as possible with our expansion over the years, much of the growth has been logical and organic in that the new products we have developed and added complement products that we already have. For example, liner hangers and casing packers are threaded onto and connected to the same casing and liner strings that contain cementing accessories which we also manufacture. Similarly, production packers are typically set inside those same casing strings.”
“A recent innovation from the Saga group include Lancaster Flow Automation's recently released Vector inline choke valve. This was developed to meet the growing demand for a lower cost yet still fully automated low torque adjustable choke,” he continued.
“We remain focused on growing our customer base, both internationally and domestically in Indonesia, whilst we also continue to grow and enhance our product range.”
“Besides the opportunity to showcase our products at ADIPEC, we find the exhibition an ideal venue for us to catch up with old business acquaintances and to also meet new friends. It’s the reason we have been exhibiting here for many years. To that end, as a relatively small company by global standards, we are always on the lookout for new customers, business partners and agents,” he added.
