Jacksonville, FL, July 13, 2018 --(PR.com)-- wosupply.com - W&O, a global supplier to the marine and
upstream oil and gas markets for pipe, valves, and fittings, valve automation, and engineered solutions, is
pleased to announce the opening of their newest office in Singapore. Having served customers in the

customers. W&O can support vessels in major global shipping ports such as Houston, Rotterdam and
Singapore. Their 18 branches and additional 5 distribution points are strategically located to support
customers operating within the global maritime industry.

“W&O has been exploring options to broaden our footprint into the Asia Pacific maritime industry, and
as it is the world's busiest transshipment port and the third largest by tonnage, Singapore was a seamless
fit,” said Michael Hume, president and CEO of W&O. “W&O looks forward to serving new and existing
customers in this important region.”

The new office is already up and running, and is well stocked with JIS, DIN and ANSI valves, including
certified and actuated valves. In addition, Mr. Harold van Vugt, an industry veteran with over eight years
of experience with W&O, is leading the Singapore operation and is working to create local expertise to
assist shipyards and ship-owners with all their valve requirements. This includes new builds, retrofits, and
