Izomax, a mechanical isolation specialist, has strategically invested in Aberdeen, with the opening of a
new office and appointment of Lynne Lyon as Sales Manager.
The company, which is headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, is the inventor of the AOGV (Add On Gate
Valve), a patented mechanical isolation system. AOGV, unlike traditional isolation technologies, allows
customers to safely isolate process segments for inspection, maintenance, or repair without a shutdown.
The tool was developed in 2016 and has a proven track record of 160 completed jobs for 24 different
customers across four continents.

Izomax wants to bring that value to UKCS customers. To address this, Izomax has opened an office in
the Blackburn Business Park, Aberdeen and appointed Lynne Lyon as Sales Manager.
Lynne has 12 years of experience in sales, with much of her career dedicated to delivering technical
solutions to the downhole drilling industry in the UK and Europe. Lynne has a passion for delivering
industry first technology and was latterly responsible for managing commercial contracts for IT services.
Talking of her appointment Lynne said: “I’m delighted to be working with Izomax to bring AOGV to the
UKCS. Izomax is a fast paced, driven and ambitious company, with a fantastic reputation and track
record. The AOGV is a game-changer in isolation and while the technology has already been used for
projects in the UKCS, I really hope to extend our operations and deliver great results for our clients.”
Jesper Veidung Moberg, Managing Director / Vice President Izomax AS, said: “Aberdeen and the UKCS
are key strategic focuses for us. With maturing assets in the North Sea, asset maintenance and integrity
are critical issues for the Aberdeen market. We firmly believe that AOGV will help customers improve
efficiency, safety and achieve maintenance execution without the need for shutdown – ultimately helping
their bottom line.
“Establishing a local presence brings us closer to our customers and gives us an opportunity to showcase
AOGV and deliver mock-up tests in proximity, adding further value to our UK client base.
“I’m delighted to have opened an Aberdeen office and warmly welcome Lynne to the team.”
Izomax currently employs 52 people worldwide, with offices in Stavanger (Norway), Perth (Australia),
Houston (America) and Aberdeen (UK).
