Always Numero Uno!
Geir Instanes and Dag A. Aldal, ClampOn’s founders, brought with them the wealth of instrumentation experience they had gained from the oil and gas industry.
ClampOn’s first sensors were supplied to the petroleum industry in 1995 and are still in operation – which is one of the many reasons our slogan is «Always Numero Uno!» This success is built on humble beginnings in 1994, when the company was founded with little money and no products, but very specific ideas and boundless creativity. The company's founders already had extensive experience with instrumentation for the offshore industry and were used to operating in an international market. The first instrument developed by the company was a passive acoustic sensor that could be programmed to perform tasks such as sand monitoring, PIG detection and, later, leak detection and vibration monitoring.
Testing is a vital part of improving product quality.
Since the very beginning, ClampOn has aimed to develop and produce the very best equipment of the highest possible quality. To do this we developed a technological platform with intelligent processing, in which the software determines the job the sensor performs. This strategy has enabled us to continually improve performance, quality and delivery precision. This approach also allows us to produce large series of instruments and develop first-class logistics, which in turn means profitability – thus completing the chain! We hope that many potential entrepreneurs will follow our example and even surpass it ; remember that energy, creativity, knowledge and perseverance are worth much more than money as start-up capital. Today, ClampOn employs around 120 people in Bergen, Norway and in Houston, Texas, and the company is still growing. 90% of our production is exported to wherever in the world petroleum is produced and our engineers work closely with the end-users; the oil companies. In order to succeed we need to have the best people, products and attitude, and every day we must strive to become a little better, for the benefit of our customers and ourselves. Our standards of quality are at least as high today as when we started. As an example, ClampOn has supplied over two thousand subsea systems that have accumulated some 2.7 million days of operation, a figure which corresponds to a record-beating Mean Time to Failure exceeding 1067 years – a result that has taken a good deal of effort to achieve!
Knowledgeable and experienced people play a key role.
ClampOn promises to continue to develop the very best products for the petroleum industry and to be daring, creative and sincere in all our efforts in the future. Development of technical solutions and product-related services is essential if we are to stay ahead of the pack. Of course, there is always a risk of making mistakes, but only by challenging well-established solutions can we improve and find new technologies and high-performance products. ClampOn seeks the solutions of tomorrow in order to serve our customers – we want to be your very best supplier: Always Numero Uno! In making ClampOn what it is today, the quality of our staff is vital as the best technology and ideas need the best employees; and we have them! This demands both loyalty and humility – loyalty to the ClampOn concept and humility towards the idea of learning and becoming better – a fine balance to find.
