High stakes operating conditions place stringent demands on the supply of cast Oil and Gas components. Quality, on time delivery and metallurgical excellence are all critical requirements in the manufacturing supply chain. With many years of experience in the sector, and a strong focus on quality and strategic oversight, Haworth Castings and our sister companies in Expromet Technologies Group are well placed to act as your strategic partners for the supply of cast Oil and Gas components.
Expromet Technologies Group manufactures precision engineered components for performance-critical Upstream exploration, drilling and production projects. We have a track record of over 20 years supplying the Oil and Gas industry with both standard and bespoke products for surface and subsea applications.
For example, Expromet group companies supply precision engineered components for:
More than a manufacturer, we act as your strategic supply chain partner. By sharing our expertise and delivering high quality components when and where they are needed, we de-risk projects for customers in the Oil and Gas industry.
Consistently high-quality components are crucial to the safety and continuity of operations in the Oil and Gas industry. Haworth Castings and our sister Expromet group companies maintain a rigorous process of quality assurance and testing to ensure that our components consistently meet or exceed customer specifications.
Each of our facilities is equipped with state-of-the-art CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) inspection equipment, ensuring the highest levels of dimensional accuracy and quality assurance for every component we produce. These advanced systems allow us to conduct precise measurements, validate complex geometries, and meet the stringent tolerances required by industries such Oil and Gas. By integrating cutting-edge inspection technology into our operations, we can guarantee consistency, reliability, and compliance with industry standards, reinforcing our commitment to delivering excellence in every project.
Expromet’s triple ISO certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001) demonstrate our commitment to quality, environmental management, and occupational health and safety. We also maintain the AS9100 aerospace industry quality management standard for precision machining, underscoring our commitment to providing reliable, high-quality engineered products for the most demanding applications.
It is essential that we deliver components on time to avoid costly downtime in the Oil and Gas industry. Each Expromet company has a firm and tested commitment to on time delivery.
High standards of OTD
Expromet Technologies Group maintains rigorous internal KPIs centred on OTD, which are closely monitored to ensure operational excellence. This consistent tracking allows us to identify trends, proactively address potential bottlenecks, and maintain a strong performance record. Our continuous improvement process integrates data-driven insights directly into our operations, enabling us to refine production schedules, optimise resource allocation, and enhance overall efficiency.
This approach is particularly relevant to the Oil and Gas industry, where supply chain reliability and operational precision are critical. By leveraging robust KPI monitoring and a feedback-driven improvement cycle, Expromet ensures we can meet the sector’s stringent demands, deliver high-quality components within tight timelines, and support the industry’s focus on safety and efficiency.
Stockholding and on-demand call-off
We also offer stockholding and on-demand call-off facilities to streamline delivery and enhance efficiency for our customers. By planning ahead, we ensure you have access to the components you need, exactly when you need them, reducing risks within your supply chain. As your trusted supply chain partner, we optimise stock control by effectively calculating lead times, with replenishment schedules tailored to your specific business and component requirements.
With the addition of Expromet’s new facility in the Philippines, we’ve expanded our global production and warehousing capabilities. Customers can now benefit from our Southeast Asia stockholding and call-off services, along with access to on-site CNC machining and potential tariff advantages.
Each Expromet group company is more than just a manufacturer: we give you access to our extensive technical and metallurgical expertise and work with you as a long-term support partner.
New product development
