June was a truly global month for Izomax, with teams on the ground at three major industry events across Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. From Toronto to Abu Dhabi and Houston, we’ve been proud to showcase how the AOGV enables safe, shutdown-free mechanical isolation in complex live systems — and to connect with professionals across the energy and process industries.

PetroChem Canada – Toronto, Canada

Tarryl Hektner represented Izomax at PetroChem Canada in Toronto, where she teamed up with Red Flame Industries to meet with professionals from the downstream and petrochemical sectors. The event provided a great platform to share how the AOGV supports safe isolations during live maintenance and helps reduce risk without disrupting production.

AIMCS EXPO 2025 – Abu Dhabi, UAE

Svein Tore Milwertz and Morten Sirevåg attended AIMCS EXPO 2025 in Abu Dhabi, joining colleagues from IK Group, Norclamp, and Trax. The event focused on asset integrity, maintenance, and safety — a strong fit for demonstrating how AOGV technology eliminates the need for shutdowns or hot work during mechanical isolation work.

Downstream USA – Houston, USA

Our U.S. team — Vinnie Carvalho, Cameron B., and Matthew Fabre, together with Rune Sele from HQ — took part in Downstream USA in Houston. With a focus on the future of maintenance and operations, the event allowed us to demonstrate how AOGV enables live, compliant work on pressurized systems — with no shutdowns and no hot work required.

Looking Ahead

Thank you to everyone who visited our booths, joined conversations, or helped make these events possible. We’re already looking ahead to what’s next on the calendar — and continuing to share how AOGV is helping operators redefine the (im)possible around the world.

We’re pleased to announce that a new and improved version of the AOGV Experience is now available on our website.

This interactive tool offers a closer look at how the AOGV mechanical isolation system works – enabling safe, smart, and shutdown-free maintenance across live systems. It’s designed to support engineers, planners, and operators in understanding how mechanical isolation can be applied without disrupting operations.

From valve replacements to emergency repairs, the AOGV delivers positive isolation without hot work, permanent modifications, or production loss – helping reduce risk and maintain uptime.

With refreshed visuals, clearer navigation, and updated interactive examples, the new AOGV Experience provides a focused, practical view of how isolation is achieved in real operations, across upstream, downstream, and process facilities.

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 Karlsson formerly 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.

If you’re attending PetroChem Canada 2025, we invite you to stop by or get in touch to arrange a meeting.

We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!

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.
