NOV Acquires MAATS Tech’s Carousel And Cable-Lay [Video]

Houston-based energy solutions provider NOV has acquired the intellectual property (IP) rights of MAATS Tech, a defunct business providing turnkey ship-based carousel and cable-lay systems.

In 2023, NOV formed a new Cable Lay team based in Stonehouse, UK. The team, formerly senior and principal engineers with MAATS Tech, brings more than 70 years of combined experience in engineering fully integrated lay systems with advanced automation and line control.

NOV will be able to support those assets going forward, providing aftermarket, spares, and upgrades, the company said.

The dedicated Cable Lay team in Stonehouse is incorporated with the Remacut team in Rivoli, Italy.
