MOGAS Authorized Repair Center Established in Turkey

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MOGAS Industries, Inc. (MOGAS) and Opak Madencilik, an Ankara-based
mining services company, have entered into an agreement for Opak to
represent MOGAS as an Authorized Repair Center (ARC) in Turkey.

ARCs are supported and trained in the service and repair of MOGAS
severe-service ball valves. In Turkey, MOGAS valves see a lot of
critical service in multiple autoclave plants, where acidic properties
and high pressures and temperatures are very demanding on the valve’s
specialized materials of construction. Having local support and repair
will benefit plants through quicker turnarounds, reduced labor costs,
improved relationship and shared industry expertise.

Kevin Engel, MOGAS VP Service said, “MOGAS is very selective in
establishing repair centers, and Opak is truly well qualified and
enthusiastic for this increased opportunity to assist clients. They have
invested in qualified personnel, specialized training, a service
facility and equipment to better meet the needs and demands of MOGAS’
customer base. Because their employees are all degreed engineers who are
heavily involved with the day-to-day operations of mining facilities,
they are very qualified and knowledgeable in these specific applications
needs.”

Hakan Kadıoglu, Opak General Manager said, “All autoclave projects in
our territory selected MOGAS valves for their severe-service, on/off
applications. We can proudly say we have 100% share of autoclave
applications, and are expecting more autoclave projects to be realized
in our region as the market gets bigger. This makes an ARC in Turkey
more important to achieve our future goals. We are also currently
developing the market’s power sector. Our ARC and in-stock sales will be
key in our success for this sector as well, thanks to the trust and
cooperation of the MOGAS team.”

“Our relationship goes back over a decade working together at autoclave
facilities,” said Matt Mogas, MOGAS President and CEO. “In 2012 Opak
became a MOGAS rep, and a short four years later was our Platinum Award
Winner for outstanding sales and service. They are an invaluable part of
our autoclave success in Turkey, and are also growing their presence in
the power and process markets.”
