APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2024 | 4 Best Oilfield Equipment Precision Manufacturing Company 2024 Strategically located in the Asia Pacific region, Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment Vietnam Co. Ltd (SBOEVN) is a high precision manufacturer and supplier of high alloy non-magnetic, high corrosion resistance steels for the oilfield industry, including high-tech components for measurement while drilling (MWD) and logging while drilling (LWD), in addition to rotary steerable tools. Within its mission to provide its valued customers around the world with high-complex parts, at globally competitive pricing, this makes it a true one-stop shop for every oilfield equipment need. With all major multinational oilfield service companies among its clientele, we speak to General Director, Paul McLaughlan to learn more about SBOEVN and its superior offering. May24298 “We foster an environment where every voice is heard, and diversity is celebrated, recognising that unique perspectives drive innovation and success. Transparency and open communication are fundamental, empowering employees to share ideas, express concerns, and contribute to our shared goals.” Sitting under the umbrella of parent company and global market leader Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Group (SBO Group), which is located in Austria, Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment Vietnam Co. Ltd is a standalone business unit that was established in 2009 in the province of Binh Duong, Vietnam, some 40km north of Ho Chi Minh City. Since then, it has come a long way, having expanded its facility in late 2013 to over 100,000sqft of production space, and by 2019, having installed 12 new CNC machines, increasing manufacturing turning and milling output by over 30%. Paul tells us more about the company’s extraordinary journey so far: “The last five years have been an unbelievable journey for SBOEVN, the biggest challenge and constraints being the impact of COVID-19 and the industry downturn in 2020, which tested our incredible staff, remaining fully operational with over 60% of our valued employees living onsite for over 100 days. This was nothing short of remarkable and shows the true testament, resilience, and commitment of our employees during the pandemic. Nothing was going to stop them from serving our customers.” With such a brilliant, devoted team behind it, SBOEVN can match the expertise and experience of SBO Group, and its location in Asia Pacific means it can offer competitive pricing, too. As such, it delivers a range of cost-effective products and services in the form of solid collars and non-mag drill collars (NMDC), stabilisers, LWD and MWD collars, hard facing sleeves, laser cladding of wear resistance carbide layers, collar repairs, and deep hole specialised gun drilling. With special non-magnetic steel supplied to it by SBO Group, this gives it the advantage of being able to manufacture its products onsite. As a one-stop shop, the company not only ensures value for customers through its comprehensive services, but also reduced risk. At the helm of SBOEVN is General Director, Paul McLaughlan, reporting directly to the main board of directors in Austria, and his focus is on demonstrating strong management techniques, implementing clear operational direction, motivating team members, optimising resources and processes, and building strong business relationships. As a senior manufacturing operations professional, Paul boasts more than 35 years of extensive oil and gas industry experience, and he has worked in seven different countries throughout his career. Alongside the wider SBO Group, the entire SBOEVN team share the core values of ‘Partnership’, ‘Integrity’, ‘Innovation and Continuous Improvement’, ‘Diversity, Trust, and Empowerment’, ‘Entrepreneurial Accountability’, ‘Sustainability’, and ‘Value Creation’. Each of these values guides the team’s daily work and collaboration with each other, business partners, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, in order to provide a service that it both customer-centric and rich in technological knowhow. Under ‘Partnership’, the team strive to be a reliable and responsive long-term partner for customers with the ongoing development of advanced technologies, products, and services to help them achieve their objectives. In terms of the day-to-day, they deliver unfalteringly highquality services and practical solutions that create added value for customers time and again. This comes with ‘Integrity’ in everything the team does, with great dedication to honesty. With ‘Innovation and Continuous Improvement’, the company encourages and rewards innovative behaviour from its employees. The team is committed to continuous improvement and working hard to be the best in their field. It also places great importance on ‘Diversity, Trust, and Empowerment’, promoting an environment of transparency, trust, and personal responsibility. It strives to be a company that is attractive for its employees and, being performance-oriented, encourages continuous learning and development, offering them challenging growth and advancement opportunities. Through ‘Entrepreneurial Accountability’, the company provides a strong strategic and financial basis for its highly autonomous subsidiaries, with common objectives and clear communication channels being the basis for its success. Also contributing to its outstanding operations, the company is committed to ‘Sustainability’, with focus on long-term growth and sustainable energy. It implements the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and operates in a safe and environmentally responsible manner always. Underlying this, SBOEVN understands the importance of fostering strong team dynamics, aiming to strengthen the bonds among team members. To promote collaboration, trust, and communication, it arranges fun group outings, team-building exercises, and engaging workshops, creating opportunities for the team to connect on both personal and professional levels. It also prioritises healthy work-life balance, understanding that happy and fulfilled employees are essential to the company’s success. Through various wellness programmes, flexible working arrangements, and support systems, it endeavours
5 to create an environment where employees can flourish both personally and professionally. “Above all, our corporate culture is characterised by a sense of camaraderie and teamwork,” Paul enthuses. “We believe in supporting each other, lifting one another up, and celebrating our collective achievements. We cultivate strong relationships and a sense of belonging among our employees. Our culture is not just what we do; it’s who we are, guiding our actions and shaping our identity as a company.” Now, this award-winning team has its sights set on a very bright future indeed, with Paul telling us that the company vision isn’t just focused on expansion but rather sustainable growth, innovation, and ongoing success. This will entail strategic initiatives aimed at diversifying its offerings, penetrating new markets, and strengthening its presence globally. Through meticulous planning and thoughtful execution, SBOEVN is looking to position itself as a leader within its industry while remaining agile and responsive to the evolving market. The remainder of 2024 is looking to be the busiest in SBOEVN’s history, with its ongoing bay three extension underway and expected to finish in early 2025, and it will have installed another five new machines by Q1 2025 which will increase its capacity by another 15%. Paul shares, “We anticipate increased sales growth around 30%+ from last year while manufacturing new product lines for high-complex parts. Our short- and long-term plans are to continue to be the supplier of choice to all our valued customers. We now supply to all major multinational oilfield service companies in the world.” As the team at Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment Vietnam Co. Ltd continue to embark on this exciting journey, they remain guided by their core values and as driven and ambitious as ever. Paul concludes, “Our future direction is not merely about expansion or succession but about building a legacy of innovation, resilience, and enduring impact. With a clear vision, strong leadership, and a dedicated team, we are poised to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, driving our company towards a future of continued growth and prosperity.” Coctact Details Company: Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment Vietnam Co.

May22239 APAC Insider- South East Asia Business Awards 2024 | 6 Warganegara and Partners, known as WNP Asia, is a law firm operating under the laws and jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia. Offering a wide range of legal services spanning capital market, real estate and property, advice concerning mergers and acquisitions (M&A), financial services, ensuring legal compliance, and more, the firm boasts such renowned clientele as FedEx Express International. Sitting atop an excellent reputation and a track record of due diligence, WNP Asia thrives on innovation. Leveraging a highly experienced team of corporate lawyers, WNP Asia uses its unrivalled expertise to help its clients overcome the complex legal landscape that they face, providing integrated and seamless solutions that drive both financial and strategic value at every turn. WNP Asia’s approach to legal proceedings is shaped by such core values as integrity, professionalism, and innovation. Adhering to these values is the firm’s secret to offering creative, reliable, and quality legal solutions to complex problems across the space. Distinguishing WNP Asia from the competition is its unique ability to provide its clients with integrated, end-to-end solutions, something that is particularly true in the fields of financial services and merges and acquisitions, for which it is being celebrated with these two awards. This famed holistic approach to its operation sees WNP Asia handle every aspect of a legal project from start to finish, doing so with the same precision and efficiency that has resulted in a best-in-class reputation and a track record of success. As for a few choice examples of projects that truly showcase WNP Asia’s innovation in the realm of financial services and excellence in the field of mergers and acquisitions, the team here recently executed a project for one of their biggest clients, FedEx, which focused on its collection processes to boost the company’s revenue significantly. This merger and acquisitions company then advised another notable client, Redision, on its M&A process, affording it the team’s proven method to guarantee the best results and client satisfaction. Instrumental in maintaining a uniform quality has been WNP Asia’s internal culture, which lends itself to a dynamic and supportive work environment priding itself on the sharing of ideas, development of skills, and working together to feed the firm’s ongoing success. As Managing Partner Indra Kusuma Wardani explains it, “this positive internal culture directly influences the quality of our products and services, ensuring that we deliver innovative and high-quality solutions to our clients,” and is seen further in the firm’s sustainability pledge. Sustainable development is a cornerstone of WNP Asia, and with trends of the industry shifting in much the same direction, the team here strive to remain ahead of the curve by incorporating sustainable practices into their projects as far as possible. Investing in cuttingedge technological processes has also proven key to this, ensuring that the team are fully compliant with all evolving regulations. Indra stresses that this will be a continued focus of both him and his team going into the future. For the rest of 2024 specifically, WNP Asia is seeking to expand its offerings in the real estate sector, especially concerning sustainable tourism projects. Other pipeline projects for Indra and the team are set to be high impact, with an additional focus on debt recovery and collection. Long-term plans are very much about expansion, with WNP Asia striving to bring its signature blend of integrated real estate and property solutions, mergers and acquisitions, financial regulatory compliance services, and more, to countries across Southeast Asia. Operating in Southeast Asia will provide both challenges and opportunities for WNP Asia as it expands, as whilst this environment is experiencing rapid economic growth and urbanisation at present, a number of issues such as complex emerging regulations, the diverse nature of the region’s cultural and business practices, and the managing of infrastructure constraints will all yield significant difficulties. Nevertheless, Indonesia’s biannual ASEAN Summit underscores the region’s emerging prominence as a tourist and investment hub. With a goal to not only provide clients with innovative legal solutions, but also to ensure that every element of its undertaking is done so with sustainable development in mind, WNP Asia is not only the legal partner of choice, but a wider business partner that makes a positive difference in the world. For this, it is more than deserving of being celebrated with these two awards.

With its vast knowledge of computer security, networking, and system administration, TradingFXVPS is well-positioned to bridge the gap between traders and brokerages to reinvigorate international trade performance. Most Innovative Forex VPS Solutions Company 2024 TradingFXVPS provides traders with reliable VPS solutions specifically for complex automated trading. Its expert team possesses the knowledge and experience to develop VPS solutions with fast response times and ultralow latency. TradingFXVPS is dedicated to revolutionising Forex trading with data centres in critical financial hubs around the world. Forex trading, also known as foreign exchange or FX trading, is simply buying one currency and selling another in order to profit from the trade. Assets traded in Forex include currencies, cryptocurrencies, contracts for difference (CFDs), indexes, commodities, and spreads. Over the past decade, Forex trading has become increasingly more accessible to individuals who wish to begin their trading journey. Latency is the duration of time it takes for a data packet to be sent and received between a trading platform and broker. Standard household or office internet connections often provide insignificant connection quality. In comparison, TradingFXVPS’s servers are positioned in major financial markets, offering ultralow latency and high execution speed for trading activity. At TradingFXVPS, its first-rate technology speaks for itself. By leveraging diverse hardware from Hewlett Packard, Dell, Intel, and IBM, the company greatly decreases the risk of hardware breakdown. Its servers are designed with traders in mind, guaranteeing access to information 10-20 times faster than other hosting providers. Servers are equipped with an SSD/NVMe RAID10 disk array to safeguard traders’ data in the event of hard drive failure. In addition to exceptional hardware, TradingFXVPS adopts Microsoft Hyper-V virtualisation technology to ensure resources are consistently available for every VPS. Unlike other VPS providers who over-sell virtual servers, the company offers maximum performance around the clock and guarantees 100% uptime across its VPS. TradingFXVPS’s severs are strategically located across eight different geographies including London, New York, Amsterdam, Chicago, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Frankfurt. These locations have been specifically chosen for ultra-low latency and fast access to the world’s top brokers and liquidity providers. By partnering with industry leaders like Equinix, Leaseweb, and Internap, TradingFXVPS can provide a seamless connection that all brokers can rely on. Since its inception, TradingFXVPS has remained steadfast in its core values of professionalism, honesty, security, reliability, and customer focus. The team prides itself on delivering unbeatable services, adhering to industry best practices, and maintaining transparent communication with its esteemed clients. TradingFXVPS operates its business ethically with respect for all stakeholders including customers, employees, and partners. For the company, this means honouring commitments, avoiding conflicts of interest, and prioritising its clients above all else. Furthermore, TradingFXVPS believes in the power of continuous learning and development in order to keep up with evolving market conditions and meet clients’ specific requirements. Security is another key concern for TradingFXVPS. By implementing robust measures such as encryption protocols, firewalls, and regular security audits, the company can secure client information and ensure data privacy. Its commitment to security extends to the physical infrastructure of data centres with severs housed in secure facilities with redundant power and cooling systems. TradingFXVPS invests in cutting-edge infrastructure and technology to ensure clients experience high availability and minimal downtime. This includes redundant network connections, backup systems, and proactive monitoring to detect any issues before clients are affected. With its extensive experience, the seasoned team are experts at developing bespoke solutions to meet clients’ individual needs and preferences. Whether providing personalised support, offering flexible pricing plans, or innovating its services to address emerging market trends, customer satisfaction resides at the heart of the business. TradingFXVPS’s consistently positive feedback is testament to its commitment to trading excellence, achieved through its impressive technical infrastructure and unrivalled customer support. Moving forward, TradingFXVPS has plans to expand its presence across key regions by establishing new data centres and forming strategic partnerships with local brokers and financial institutions. This will allow the company to better serve its clients in diverse geographical locations and offer low latency to 99% of brokerages around the world. Furthermore, TradingFXVPS will continue to prioritise customer satisfaction, offering 24/7 live chat and introducing more self-service YouTube tutorials to enhance its support.

When choosing a new individual to join our team, we seek out the values that we nurture and practice. When you’re working with people who have the same values as you, it encourages you to be your authentic self and get better at what you do.” Neil adds, “On top of that, a leadership mindset is very much encouraged within the team. We’re proud of our synergy as well. It has given each one of us the chance to take the lead and be in our element. When you let your people take the stage and give them the freedom to show their strengths and talent, it spurs creativity, productivity, and collaboration.

That is because this program has been designed with a humancentred approach that looks at the physical, psychological, and social factors that affect human interaction with equipment, processes, and other people to identify and minimise potential risks. This process recognises that human error is mostly a direct result of the way the procedures, equipment, and its safeguards are designed, and how leaders influence the work culture.” For over a decade, Safe Lanes has devised exceptional Maritime solutions that empower clients to manage their assets safely and efficiently. What began as a single-service Singapore operation has now become a client-centric consulting firm offering an ecosystem of highly synergistic Maritime solutions.
