Andrew Patrick takes over as Pipeotech interim CEO
Geir Otto Amundsen on News · Jun 23, 2021
Pipeotech has appointed Andrew Patrick as the company’s interim chief executive following the resignation of outgoing CEO Henrik Sollie.
Patrick steps into the interim role from his current position as Head of Business Development. He joined Pipeotech in 2020 tasked with building awareness and revenues for Pipeotech’s revolutionary DeltaV-Seal™, the world’s tightest, safest and most durable pipeline sealing solution.
Sollie led Pipeotech for three years and guided the company through its growth and transformation into becoming the world-beating provider of pipeline seals it is today.
‘I would like to thank Henrik for his leadership and enormous courage and vision in transforming Pipeotech during his tenure,’ says Patrick.
‘Under his guidance, Pipeotech has grown to seal its own place as a world-beating innovator capable of delivering the very best in pipeline engineering across a wide range of industry segments, including oil and gas, chemical processing, maritime, pharmaceuticals, food and drink production, and more.
‘Henrik leaves Pipeotech in a great position for the future and on behalf of the whole company I would like to wish him well in his future career,’ adds Patrick.
Patrick joined Pipeotech after more than 20 years with Clock Spring NRI and has considerable experience in all aspects of pipeline engineering, giving him the ideal pedigree to take Pipeotech to the next level.
‘I believe Pipeotech has a genuine breakthrough solution with the Delta-V Seal that rewrites the rules when it comes to pipeline sealing, with unbeatable tightness and durability utilising a one-piece gasket that is guaranteed 100% leak-proof in even the harshest of environments,’ says Patrick.
‘The team at Pipeotech have a zero-tolerance attitude to fugitive pipeline emissions and have exceptional proven strengths in this segment.
‘We are determined to further build on the Delta-V Seal’s incredible guarantee and to show it has the potential to transform industrial pipelines to help companies eliminate fugitive emissions, reduce accidents, cut maintenance costs and increase their profits.’
