Titan Aims for Expansion Into Brazil, Seeks Out Dealers at Rio Oil & Gas Expo and Conference

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Sep 24, 2012) - Titan Technologies International, a leading manufacturer of industrial bolting tools, met with oil and gas industry executives as well as dealers during the 2012 Rio Oil & Gas Expo and Conference held last week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Titan plans to expand its presence in the region by seeking out qualified dealers for its line of products, including the Titan SuperThin™ Series hydraulic torque wrenches.

As the only line of blowout preventer (BOP) hydraulic torque wrenches specifically built to deliver accurate and repeatable torque in tight spaces, Titan's SuperThin Series offers a thinner, stronger design to face the demanding limited space applications in the oil and gas industries. The Titan SuperThin Series allows continuous ratcheting in limited space applications, eliminating the need for time-consuming and inaccurate bolting methods.

"Seeing significant success with the SuperThin Series BOP hydraulic torque wrenches in other regions of the world, Titan is seeking a dealer who can serve as a strategic partner in Brazil and the region," said Ron Torretti, general manager at Titan. "The Rio Oil & Gas event provided Titan with the opportunity to identify dealer options that we soon hope to announce, as South America is clearly a notable growth area for us. We're confident that the region's oil and gas industry will join Titan's thousands of worldwide customers in labeling our tools as the most innovative on the market."

Featuring the smallest radial footprint of any hydraulic torque wrench, the SuperThin™ Series BOP tools will work with more than 90 percent of blowout preventers manufactured today. Common applications include wellheads, gate valves, stand pipe valves, choke manifold valves and many types of BOPs. It's designed to meet the requirements of BOP work for both manufacturing and use in the field to break out and repair.
