COMMODITIES giant Glencore has chosen Aberdeen-based engineering firm Plexus to supply wellhead equipment for its oil exploration work in Cameroon.

Aim-quoted Plexus yesterday said that the £700,000 deal was its first with Glencore and would cover one wellhead, with a further two orders possible.

Ben Van Bilderbeek, Plexus chief executive, said: “This first contract adds another blue-chip operator to our broad customer base and provides further evidence of Plexus’ high standing in the oil and gas industry as a ­supplier of best-in-class equipment in terms of operational performance and safety.

“In the past few months, we have announced contract wins in three continents, Asia, Europe, and Africa, illustrating how our patented technology continues to gain traction worldwide.”
