Baker Hughes flexes corporate muscle after merger with GE

Kuala Lumpur

BAKER Hughes (BHG), now a General Electric (GE) company post-merger and the world's second largest oilfield services provider by revenue, has maintained a 300-strong workforce in Singapore after a global downsizing exercise.

Singapore is still important, as it stands to be a more cost competitive facility - particularly to service projects in the Asia-Pacific - compared to manufacturing sites in Europe and the US, BHG Asia-Pacific president Visal Leng said on the sidelines of Offshore Technology Conference 2018 held in Kuala Lumpur.
