Solewant Nigeria Limited has excelled in the provision of pipe, metal and field joints coating services for 23 years and is now entering the next phase of its extensive development through a series of investments and expansions
Supporting the oil & gas, water, chemical processing, mining, refining, electricity, transportation and marine industries, the US-based Solewant Group subsidiary has refined its business model in the economically strong West African country over this time, in protecting all metal and concrete services through its range of services.
By blocking environmental attacks where aggressive chemical solutions and gases are present, or where mechanical forces and high temperatures are a danger, Solewant has become a significant component of the country’s wider sector, and is subsequently laying out clear plans for even more comprehensive support in the future.
“Our vision is to be the first rate world-class coating service provider for the oil & gas industry in Nigeria and the sub-Saharan African region,” the Company emphasised. “Our mission is to provide excellent industrial coating services, manpower training and research; using well-trained coating experts and best modern technology to satisfy our clients.”
Through this all-encompassing philosophy, Solewant is able to stay true – even more fruitfully after 15 years – to its overriding aims to enhance employment opportunities in coating application services; to encourage local knowledge transfer and technological skills; to increase participation in servicing oil & gas industries; to save time of project delivery as well as the cost of its projects; and to provide efficient service to project owners.
Renowned for its diverse portfolio comprising pipe and metal coating services and custom coating services, Solewant separates its business arms to cater for each, and also integrates Fieldjoint Coating Limited (FJC), its own mobile field joint coating equipment division, and a cathodic protection division.
Additionally, Solewant Nigeria is also the exclusive representative of KEMA Coatings Limited of Canada across its operating region in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa.
“KEMA Coatings Limited develops and manufactures high performance, multi-functional, organic barrier coatings and linings which are suitable for medium to extreme service conditions that include; epoxies, polyurethanes, polyureas, pipeline tapes and sealants,” the Company noted.
A series of industrial protective paints and sealants complete the offering as part of the lucrative partnership, and goes a long way to explaining the Company’s recent necessity to expand its production capacities.
