Houston, TX, February 2015
The ORINOX USA team was formally established in Houston, Texas this February, dedicated to the development of a subsidiary on American soil.
AVEVA Partnership
With the signature of AVEVA AVP Service Provider Training Agreement, ORINOX became the first company to undertake collaboration with AVEVA in the field of virtual reality. ORINOX will offer AVEVA AVP services: advanced training, deployment, component library creation, and application development. ORINOX will receive a Service Provider Partner agreement at the conclusion of AVEVA’s formalization process. AVEVA has already begun solicit the Orinox team for project reinforcement, and this activity is expected to grow rapidly over the next year.
The Orinox-AVEVA partnership will not be limited to AVEVA AVP. We are also in the process of establishing a global partnership agreement, particularly in the areas of training and deployment for AVEVA engineering and design solutions. AVEVA referred Orinox for several PDMS training sessions and technical consulting for ALSTOM in Montreal, QC, Canada.
US Development
The Houston Orinox team participated in the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston TX, which featured over 2200 international Oil & Gas sponsors. Some of our targets for future collaboration include KBR, Exmar Offshore Company, SOFEC/MODEC, Doris, Fluor, Bechtel, Hargrove, Furmanite, Houston Offshore Engineering, Amec Foster Wheeler, WorleyParsons, Veolia, Aker Solutions, Doris, SBM Offshore and Technip.
Orinox holds regular events to highlight our unique expertise and expand our reputation in North America.
Recruitment in Houston
Orinox has implemented HR and benefits programs to prepare for recruitment in the United States. We plan to target universities offering PDMS courses. Most recently, Orinox organized a presentation at San Jacinto College, where we met with a large number of engineering students. Within 6 months, our goal is to hire 3-5 additional US employees.
