IHC and Fathom distribution agreement
Two leading commercial offshore diving companies, IHC Hytech and Fathom Systems, have joined forces in a new distribution agreement which will see IHC distribute Fathom products in the commercial diving market.
IHC Hytech is part of IHC Merwede and is based in The Netherlands. It designs and manufactures high-quality equipment for offshore diving and other related markets, ranging from small portable breathing gas panels, to complete turnkey hyperbaric multi-chamber systems that are supplied complete with environmental control units.
Fathom Systems is based near Aberdeen in Scotland, from where it supplies engineering solutions and related products to the commercial diving, ROV and underwater engineering industries.
Fathom says that the new partnership with IHC will bring new and exciting opportunities that would “not otherwise have been accessible.”
Johan de Bie, development manager, IHC Hytech, said: “The new international distributor agreement will benefit both IHC Hytech and Fathom Systems’ existing customers.”
He pointed out that the arrangement will broaden the range of products, services and systems supplied by each company.
The products detailed within the international distributor agreement are proprietary high-end systems, such as those for diver monitoring and communications; helium unscrambler and acoustic through-water communications; intelligent gas analysis; chamber shutdown control; transducer instrumentation; and dedicated control.
They will initially be sold and made available for hire in the Benelux countries and France by IHC Hytech, with exclusivity to generate new business within specified territories, depending on the market segment.
