We are proud to announce the appointment of Lena Karlsson and Mona Alavi to the Izomax Board.
Both bring valuable experience from the energy and offshore industries, with strong backgrounds in project management, operations, and strategic development. Their insight will be instrumental as Izomax continues to scale internationally and strengthen its position as a trusted partner in shutdown-free mechanical isolation.
Join us in welcoming Lena and Mona to the team!
Lena Karlssonformerly held multiple roles at Baker Hughes/GE Oil & Gas, spanning from project management, coordination, sales support, and bid management. Consistently recognized for meeting deadlines, improving processes, and supporting both internal teams and clients. Holds an Executive MBA with a specialization in strategy.
Mona Alavi brings more than a decade of experience from the marine and offshore industry, where she has worked across technical and project management roles. She holds a degree in marine technology, which underpins her track record in operational planning, asset integrity, and offshore project execution, always with an emphasis on safety and dependable results.
Izomax is pleased to announce our participation in PetroChem Canada 2025, one of the country’s leading events for the downstream and petrochemical industries.
Held at the International Centre in Toronto from June 18–19, the conference brings together operators, service providers, and regulators to explore innovation in turnarounds, safety, production, and maintenance.
We’re once again teaming up with Red Flame Industries to showcase how the AOGV mechanical isolation system supports safe, shutdown-free interventions across the sector.
Representing Izomax is Tarryl Hektner, our Business Development & Client Manager in Canada. She’ll be available at Booth 315 to discuss isolation strategy, critical intervention planning, and how AOGV helps operators reduce downtime, emissions, and risk — while avoiding production losses worth millions.
If you’re attending PetroChem Canada 2025, we invite you to stop by or get in touch to arrange a meeting.
Izomax has signed a multi-year Master Service Agreement with a global supermajor, marking an important milestone in expanding our technology footprint across all continents.
Prior to signing the MSA, Izomax successfully delivered multiple operations for this customer across several continents, avoiding production losses valued in the hundreds of millions of USD. These operations showcased the tool’s ability to consistently deliver safe and efficient isolations – reinforcing the value of AOGV in critical, shutdown-free interventions.
Anticipated to be worth well over 10 million USD, this agreement reflects the scale and trust placed in Izomax’s technology by one of the world’s leading operators.
This is the second time in two years that a top-tier operator has entered into a long-term partnership with Izomax. In 2023, we signed a similar MAS-agreement with Shell, further strengthening our position as a trusted provider of shutdown-free mechanical isolation. You can read more about that here.
“As we expand further into global markets, this latest award is another example of critically important energy companies recognizing the value proposition of Izomax AOGV technology. Our ability to provide positive isolations safely and efficiently, without the need for hot work, is unique. Recognition of the part we play in avoiding shutdowns keeps our team energized,” says Senior Director and Head of Operations, Anne Bergsagel.
Today, Izomax works with supermajors, NOCs, and independents across Norway, Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia – supporting operators in reducing downtime, emissions and risk.
As global leaders in mechanical isolations, we know a thing or two about overcoming the impossible. So when the final installment of the Mission Impossible franchise hit the big screens, we decided the time was right for a Hollywood-style production of our own.
Why? Because delivering safe, shutdown-free maintenance interventions on complex live systems isn’t just a challenge – it’s a mission.
And at Izomax, we always choose to accept your mission.
2025 marks a milestone year for Izomax. With growth accelerating across global markets, we wanted a powerful way to tell our story; one that celebrates the people behind our success and the technology that makes the impossible…possible.
The final Mission: Impossible movie presented a unique opportunity to capitalize on a summer blockbuster – and we seized it. The result is a cinematic brand campaign – starring our own employees – that presents Izomax not just as engineers, but as mission-critical problem solvers.
Just like Tom Cruise, our fearless cast insisted on performing their own stunts – sliding under closing doors, sprinting through forests, even dangling from the ceiling on a rope. The script? Inspired by real events. Because yes, we really did deliver a live system isolation in just 18 hours, with zero shutdown. You can read all about it here.
To mark the launch of Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning hitting the cinemas, we invited colleagues, customers and partners to private mission briefings in Stavanger, Aberdeen and Hammerfest. These exclusive events featured insights into our real-world missions, followed by an exclusive screening of the Izomax trailer – and then the big one: Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning.
The real-world mission: AOGV
Mission imPossible is more than a trailer. It’s a statement.
At the heart of every Izomax mission is the AOGV – our patented mechanical isolation tool that allows safe intervention on pressurized systems without shutting down operations.
With 230+ projects delivered worldwide, the AOGV is the go-to solution when downtime isn’t an option.
· $2 million – $20 million USD in customer savings per project
· No shutdowns required
· No hot-tapping or hot work
· Zero HSE incidents reported

Something has been taking shape behind the scenes at Izomax this spring, and the countdown has officially begun.
Sparked by an idea from Project Neon and filmed with Moxey, this piece explores the kinds of missions the AOGV is built for.
To mark the occasion, we hosted a series of closed cinema events for clients, suppliers, and partners in Stavanger, Aberdeen, and Hammerfest. Each evening featured a technical presentation of a case study from the field and a private screening of the latest Mission: Impossible film: The Final Reckoning.
Our very first event was hosted by Sales Manager Gina and Senior Engineer Jostein in the same city as our HQ: Stavanger. Later that same week, Project Manager Stephanie travelled to Aberdeen to co-host our second event together with UK Sales Manager Lynne. 1700 km north of Aberdeen, our third and final event took place in Hammerfest, where Gina was joined by Project Manager Odd Magne for the last mission briefing.
But this is not the end. Our Mission Forces not only presented how the AOGV solution has taken on some of its most complex and critical missions to date – they also revealed the classified Izomax mission of our own making.
Izomax is pleased to announce our participation in the Banff Pipeline Workshop 2025, taking place from April 7 to 10 in Banff, Alberta. This event brings together pipeline industry professionals to discuss advancements in pipeline integrity, safety, and risk management.
Representing Izomax at the workshop will be Tarryl Hektner, our Business Development & Client Manager in Canada. Izomax will be sharing a stand with Red Flame at the event. Tarryl will be available to discuss how our AOGV mechanical isolation system enables safe and efficient pipeline maintenance without the need for process shutdowns.
The AOGV is a patented mechanical isolation tool that provides positive isolation while maintaining system integrity. By allowing maintenance to occur without stopping production, it helps operators avoid the risks associated with shutdown delays and unplanned outages.
If you are attending the Banff Pipeline Workshop 2025, we invite you to connect with Tarryl at Floor 3, Exhibition Room 306, Booth 59. Reach out in advance to schedule a meeting or visit us during the event.
