RBG is one of the largest remaining independent UK-based oil and gas services companies.

The services provided include: integrity management, fabric maintenance, specialist services, manpower, cleaning, painting and specialist sub-sea structure fabrication.

Headquartered in Aberdeen, RBG employs over 6,000 staff and has a significant share of the UK North Sea fabric maintenance market. RBG also has a significant international presence in Trinidad, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caspian Sea.

RBG‘s ‘one-stop service company’ strategy is highly attractive in international markets, where RBG’s customers – the international oil companies and the main contractors – favour a small, manageable number of robust and proven service providers.

RBG has grown rapidly since being created through the merger of Rigblast, McGregor Offshore and Mach-ten in December 2004 – a merger facilitated by 3i, which had already invested in two of the businesses. Core Technical was acquired in October 2005 and further acquisitions are planned.
