MMT Sweden AB gains ‘shop window’ with euopean oil and gas buyers.

MMT Sweden AB (MMT), based in Gothenburg Sweden, has since 2011 gained a ‘shop window’ with companies in the oil and gas sector by joining Achilles FPAL - an online community which is used by over 90 buyers from oil and gas companies.

MMT which has 240 staff and provides marine survey service, share on an online platform its capabilities and performance record in key business areas, such as quality, health and safety and financial performance.

Achilles works to ensure suppliers’ information is accurate via data validation and desktop and physical audits. The Achilles FPAL community serves the procurement needs of the wider European oil & gas market, whilst maintaining firm roots within North Sea operations. Achilles FPAL is an industry-run community of operators, contractors and suppliers working in collaboration to promote a fair and transparent supply chain.

Spokesman for MMT Stefan Eliasson, CEO, said: “We have been members in the Achilles community for over 10 years with successful business opportunities. In 2011 we registered for FPAL since we took a large step in to the oil and gas market with our advanced marine survey and inspections services for the offshore pipeline industry. Today we are proud to be registered through the Advanced Registration Profile and through the Verify scheme in order to meet up to our clients request and gain valuable marketing opportunities within the oil and gas sector.”

Malcolm Wilson, Director for Achilles FPAL, said: “By joining the biggest supply chain risk management community supporting the North Sea and European oil and gas industry, MMT Sweden AB has put itself in the best position to be considered for work with major oil and gas buyers. Achilles FPAL is a simple and successful model which has operated since 1997 by streamlining procurement and reducing cost for suppliers and buyers. It provides a vital shop window for suppliers that can offer innovative technology or services at a time when there is great focus on value and efficiency. Achilles FPAL also has a unique two way Performance Feedback feature that allows suppliers to give and receive feedback so that high performing suppliers can demonstrate their track record to customers”.
