Abu Dhabi, UAE. September 21, 2011. Global offshore accommodation specialist to the oil and gas industry HB Rentals has signed a partnership agreement with Abu Dhabi based Gulf Automation Services & Oilfield Supplies (GASOS) to represent its accommodation and zone 1 pressurised cabins rental business.

Deidre Toups, president of HB Rentals, made a trip to Abu Dhabi from the company's HQ in the States, for the signing. She said: "We launched our official Middle East base in Dubai last year and the results to date have far surpassed our targets and expectations - we have had to bring in significantly more units to fulfil contracts due to demand.

"This partnership signifies a further commitment from HB Rentals to the region and we believe that GASOS' reputation and credibility in the market place positions it perfectly as our partner in Abu Dhabi."

The partnership was signed in Abu Dhabi on Sunday between Ms Toups and Samir Al Gharbi, general manager, GASOS.

Mr Al Gharbi commented: "Our decision to enter into a partnership with HB Rentals is based on the company's reputation and high standard of technology across all its products and services.

"As a leader in the provision of technology and services to the oil and gas sector in Abu Dhabi with over 40 years of experience, GASOS' selection process is based on the in-depth knowledge we have in this market and our position as a solid contact and bridge between the oil companies and the foreign companies. We look forward to developing our relationship with HB Rentals in Abu Dhabi over the coming years."
