Company info

When operators want to bring their gas or oil from seabed to ships or platforms, it is an advantage to use pipes that can move in response to environmental conditions and that can handle high temperatures and strong internal pressure. Flexible pipe systems are at the exact core of NKT Flexibles’ competencies and have been since our foundation in 1999.

Since the foundation in 1999 NKT Flexibles has been operated as a joint venture between NKT Holding and Subsea 7 S.A.

NKT Flexibles develops, produces, and markets some of the strongest and most advanced flexible pipe systems in the world. Thanks to the innovative drive and several patents in the field, we make sure that oil and gas companies get their products from production site to tanker or platform quickly and safely, that island communities get clean water, and that dangerous chemicals are loaded and unloaded easily and quickly.

With 160 engineers out of 700 employees in Denmark alone NKT Flexibles is a knowhow and innovation-based company. The head office is in Denmark near Copenhagen and offices in Perth, Houston and Rio de Janeiro, and in 2013 the company is set to open another factory in Brazil.
