GLOBAL drilling technology and services company NXG has invested more than £1 million in a new Aberdeen headquarters and a site to support projects in Latin America.
The investment in the new Aberdeen base positions the business to support an expected increase in demand for its technology, expertise and services throughout 2021 with a substantial addition of warehouse and yard space. The combined size of the new Scottish site is 45,000 sq ft.
The business has moved its HQ and rental division from Hareness Circle in Altens to a nearby site at Ness Point, Blackness Circle.
The new Mexico operation, which includes an industrial unit, offices and yard space, is based in Villahermosa.

The latest announcements come after NXG secured contracts with key players in recent months, which potentially represent a substantial seven-figure boost to revenues.
Rod Coffey, managing director at NXG, said: “The significant investment in Aberdeen and Mexico is an essential part of our strategic plan for sustainable growth through 2021 and beyond. We are close to agreements for two additional international bases and hope to make an announcement before the summer.”
The company has increased staff from 25 to 40 in the last year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
