Gloucestershire-based Advanced Insulation has been presented with the Manufacturing Innovation Award at the 2015 Insider Made in the South West Awards. The prestigious event celebrated excellence in manufacturing from across the region and gave local companies the opportunity to celebrate their ongoing commitment to world-class quality and excellence in manufacturing.
The event showcased the South West’s diverse manufacturing industries and companies from across the region – including Airbus, Pendennis Shipyard and Herman Miller – also celebrated wins on the night and will automatically go through to the Made in the UK grand final, where the best of British manufacturing will be celebrated.
Commenting for Insider Media, South West Business Insider’s editor, Miri Thomas says: “Advanced Insulation was recognised in this category for developing its ContraFlame® MS400 system, a lightweight cellar-deck insulation and protection material for the offshore oil and gas industry. The judges were particularly impressed that up to 10 per cent of Advanced Insulation’s revenue is invested into the research and development of new products, with the company’s mission statement being to bring one new product to market each year.”
Commenting for Advanced Insulation, Group Marketing Manager Matt Collins says: “2015 has been a particularly good year for Advanced Insulation and one full of well-received regional and national nominations and awards that everyone at the company should be proud of.”

Advanced Insulation – a leading manufacturer of passive fire protection and insulation systems for the upstream oil and gas industry – has announced plans for a series of technical sessions and an open day at its Katy facility in Houston, Texas.
The ‘open-house’ event – taking place throughout the week of 7th December 2015 – will give new and existing customers an opportunity to review the company’s portfolio of topside and subsea technical coatings for the upstream oil and gas industry; and fendering and subsurface buoyancy products for the global marine and offshore energy markets.
As Mike Sherman – Advanced Insulation’s North American Subsea Sales Manager – explains: “Houston, Texas is the energy capital of North America and therefore a major launching pad for the Advanced Insulation brand and products to new and existing customers. The open-house event is a real opportunity for the company to bring together technical decision makers and influencers from throughout the oil and gas and marine sectors; and a chance to provide them with a comprehensive understanding of Advanced Insulation’s products, services and quality in a personalized and relaxed setting.”
The event includes three days of technical sessions – on Tuesday 8th, Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th December – comprising site inductions, product presentations, displays and live application demonstrations of Advanced Insulation’s complete range.
It will be an opportunity for visitors to view the company’s recently launched range of distributed buoyancy modules which, with patent-pending clamping technology, have been designed to reduce tension and load strain on subsea risers and umbilicals. Also on site and being demonstrated during the event will be the company’s ContraTherm® C25, a silicone syntactic insulation system.
The open-house event – which concludes with an open day at the facility on Friday 11th December – welcomes anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the range and quality of Advanced Insulation’s products and services. Those looking to attend one of the technical sessions or the open day should email mike.sherman@aisplc.comor call +1 (281) 600 0022 before Friday 6th November.
Gloucester-based Advanced Insulation will be using its stand at this year’s Offshore Europe exhibition to promote numerous products from its subsea portfolio, including buoyancy solutions, moulded PU products for SURF impact and abrasion protection and its ContraTherm® thermal insulation systems for upstream oil and gas infrastructures.
Offshore Europe will also be the first exhibition where subsea buoyancy and SURF products will be exhibited officially as a range from Advanced Insulation; and follows the company’s acquisition of Plymouth-based manufacturer Manuplas in April 2014. The range includes modular pipe lay floats and buoys, Modsyn floats, ROV materials, distributed buoyancy modules and clamps; and moulded PU products for impact and abrasion protection. All are manufactured at Advanced Insulation’s facility in Plymouth, which has recently been expanded to meet the significant growth in demand for this range of products.
Commenting for Advanced Insulation, Group Marketing Manager Matt Collins says: “With last year’s acquisition of Manuplas, Advanced Insulation is now well placed to offer oil and gas sector operators a full package of solutions, from topside fire protection and thermal insulation systems to subsea insulation and buoyancy products, so this is a really exciting year to be attending Offshore Europe as there is so much to offer the market.”
