"The company now has a strong base from which to introduce new products, build technology partnerships, maintain and grow customer partnerships and broaden its addressable market."
"Enteq is well-placed to find and take advantage of incremental opportunities in what will remain an essential market sector for the foreseeable future," he added.
Looking ahead, Enteq sees further stability in the oil & gas sector barring an unforeseen macroeconomic developments, with the company in a good position to capitalise.
