FET opens Houston Syntech plant

Forum Energy Technologies (FET) has opened a new plant near Houston expanding its syntactic foam manufacturing capabilities.

The six-acre facility in Bryan, Texas, brings Forum’s Syntech product line closer to clients in the oil and gas industry and has the capacity to support future growth.

Syntech is used to provide buoyancy modules for use in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other submersible equipment. The new plant not only allows the expansion of Forum’s ROV flotation manufacturing capabilities, but also includes the expansion into manufacturing larger installation buoyancy modules, rigging buoyancy and custom/project specific flotation modules. Syntech will share the property with another of Forum’s brands, Dynacon.

“Being closer to our clients provides them with the opportunity to visit our site and view products,” said Thomas Mittner, product line manager, Syntech. “We will be working more closely with the team at Dynacon and will leverage their engineering and manufacturing expertise.”
