TAKELO Expands Global Footprint with European Drilling Partnership
2025-07-01
Since 2015, TAKELO has actively invested in global expansion by recruiting international trade professionals and building a capable business development team. This team handles overseas business negotiations, cross-border logistics coordination, and multilingual after-sales support. These efforts have driven a 45% year-on-year growth in export volume since 2016, strengthening TAKELO’s reputation in the global Oilfield Equipment market.
In 2018, a leading offshore drilling company from Western Europe conducted an on-site audit at TAKELO’s manufacturing facility, evaluating a custom order of 95 Integral Blade Stabilizers of various sizes. The stabilizers were manufactured in full accordance with API Spec 7-1, customized for use in high-stress thermal energy exploration applications.
Material Traceability: Verification of AISI 4145H alloy certificates and comprehensive records of heat treatment, forging, and processing equipment.
Manufacturing Accuracy & Hardfacing: Inspection of CNC-machined threads and blades, as well as hardfacing procedures and surface integrity.
Quality Control Measures: 100% ultrasonic testing (UT) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI) were performed to confirm the absence of cracks or subsurface defects.
Following the inspection, the client’s CEO, James, expressed strong confidence in TAKELO’s engineering capabilities and quality standards. The successful audit led to a long-term strategic partnership, including:
Annual procurement of stabilizers in customized configurations
Expanded sourcing of additional tools such as mud pumps, drill pipes, drill collars, sucker rods, and fishing tools
Collaborative R&D initiatives focused on next-generation oilfield technologies
“This collaboration exemplifies our mission to deliver value beyond products,” said James.
“By integrating our feedback into TAKELO’s engineering and production cycles, we’ve reduced non-productive time (NPT) by 36% and extended tool life by 45% across multiple well sites.”
TAKELO remains committed to advancing drilling efficiency through global partnerships, engineering excellence, and continuous product innovation across the energy sector.
