Teesside hydraulic engineering firm launches newest facility at Northumberland port

A Teesside-founded hydraulic engineering specialist has opened a new facility at a prominent North East port.

Industrial and Marine Hydraulics (IMH) has launched its new facility at the Port of Blyth Northumberland port, joining a number of companies.

IMH, which is headquartered in Middlesbrough, specialises in hydraulic engineering, with experience in a range of sectors including oil and gas, subsea, offshore and onshore renewables, nuclear, and automotive.

The firm will be able to supply other companies at the port with hydraulic solutions, inspection and service capabilities, including flushing rigs and testing equipment.

James Griffiths, managing director at IMH commented: “Opening a facility at the Port of Blyth is an important step in our 35-year journey and we’re delighted to be bringing our specialist hydraulic engineering experience to the site.

“The port has attracted a number of high-profile companies and it’s very exciting for IMH that we can now serve the port’s users, and act as their on-site hydraulic engineering resource.

“Our new facility at the Port of Blyth will allow us to respond quickly and efficiently to customers’ inspection and service requests, as well as take on larger projects at the site which may require longer-term support.”

Martin Lawlor, chief executive of Port of Blyth, added: “We’re delighted to welcome IMH to their new facility at the port as we recognise their expertise and experience will enhance our own offering to the offshore energy sector.”
