Here is a selection of recent consultancy assignments where we have realized significant cost savings and reduced schedules for our customers:

A major manufacturer of oil field drilling equipment engaged Expo to assist in its CENELEC approval program for its pressurized drilling system. Expo managed and secured prompt approval on behalf of the manufacturer, resulting in early market entry and reduced costs.

Following changes to its production processes, a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in Ireland turned to Expo for expert advice in explosion proof technologies. Expo's recommendation of optimum methods of protection allowed the customer to operate the plant safely with minimum delay.

A major North American manufacturer of petrochemical process analyzers was repackaging one of its instruments for sale in European markets. Expo's expert knowledge of European directives allowed the customer to gain early compliance and approval leading to the application of the CE mark.

Expo's extensive product knowledge allowed an international oil tanker operator to resolve problems associated with corrosion and short service life of pressurized fluorescent lamps installed in the bilge of one of its ships, an area where the atmosphere is frequently flammable.
