Houston, Texas - TSC Offshore Group, Ltd., is pleased to announce the opening of our new Ansell Jones and Winch products facility in Birmingham, central UK.

Ansell Jones, founded in 1848, was acquired by TSC Offshore Group, Ltd. in 2008. This expansion allows TSC Ansell Jones the ability to combine the engineering and manufacture of their traditional product line with that of Patriot Winch and expand our UK based engineering and manufacturing capabilities.

“In addition to stocking standard off-the-shelf products, we are increasing the capacity for engineering the high end of our product offerings, such as crane blocks, travelling blocks, and specialized spark proof mechanical handling equipment,” said Robert Sliva, president, TSC Offshore Group, Ltd.

TSC Ansell Jones engineers and manufactures spark proof cranes and chain hoists, rigging blocks, sheaves and swivels, shackles, hooks and forgings, deck fittings and hardware, mechanical handling equipment generally used on FPSO, fixed platforms and Jackups, heavy duty low temperature, fully certified, custom built crane blocks, and weighted swivels to API and ISO specifications, along with rig component repair and refurbishment.
