Lomax Offshore Couplings

What Lomax Offshore Couplings does

Lomax Couplers Limited is a UK-based precision engineering manufacturer headquartered in Burnley, Lancashire, that designs and produces high-quality machined parts and components for demanding industrial sectors. Its core product line is high-pressure subsea couplings and stab plates (4- to 35-way assemblies, including diver mateable, quick release, and ROV-compatible configurations) for the offshore oil and gas industry, built around the Lomax Thompson High Pressure Coupling design whose manufacturing rights the company acquired in 2002. Lomax also supplies standard couplings in the 1/4 to 1 1/4 inch range and offers in-house re-engineering services to replicate obsolete parts, avoiding full system replacement.

Beyond offshore oil and gas, Lomax manufactures CNC machined components for aerospace (thrust reverser pivots and fittings, shims, hinges, cerated plates, and cowling parts supplied into the Rolls-Royce Trent 700 program), automotive (low-volume switchgear and pump components for prestige sports cars through to high-volume turned exhaust management parts), petrochemical (high-pressure pumps, catalytic pumps, valves, and safety equipment rated to and beyond 150,000 PSI), and nuclear sectors. The company works with exotic materials including Titanium, Aluminium, and Inconel, holds AS 9100 aerospace and ISO 9001 quality accreditations, and operates from a single manufacturing site in Burnley handling both one-off and large batch production. Lomax is a subsidiary of the Peerless Group, a diversified conglomerate of gas-products businesses that also includes Peerless Gas Controls, Intercontrol Ltd, Peerless Diamond Controls, Tech Control, and Flowtech.

The business model combines hardware sales of custom machined parts with licensing-style manufacturing rights to the Lomax Thompson coupling design and professional services revenue from re-engineering obsolete components. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via the company website, phone, and email, with no disclosed intermediary channels, and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. The company claims worldwide delivery of couplings and stab plates for topside and subsea systems from its UK base.
