J2 Subsea has opened a new subsea tooling facility at sister Acteon company Seatronics’ subsea electronics location in Houston, the company said June 15.

North American customers can now access a comprehensive suite of subsea equipment for diver and ROV applications. The new facility includes a workshop for tool preparation, servicing and support. It will provide torque tools, analysers, cutters, manipulators, intensifier panels, grinders, dirty work packs, jetters and more, according to the release.

The Houston based company said the new facility marks the next stage in its global expansion plan.

"Our goal is to give customers support wherever they need it, and establishing this facility in Houston is in direct response to customer demands," said John Walker, director of J2 Subsea, in the release.
