ODIM Spectrum Ltd.
The company originated from Spectrum Engineering, a Canadian
owned firm that was established in 1971. In 1983 the 'Ocean
Systems Group' was formed within Spectrum, initially to provide
engineering support to the Canadian Navy's towed sonar systems.
From this modest beginning Ocean Systems grew rapidly in the
'90s, expanding its capabilities to develop a number of unique
product solutions for an impressive array of international
clients.
In 1997 a new chapter began when Odim Holding A.s of Ulstenivik,
Norway, acquired the Ocean Systems Group. Odim is a
multi-national organization involved in products and systems for
oil exploration and production, fish processing, metal
fabrication and hydraulics. Odim A.s is the leading winch system
supplier to the seismic exploration market.
Together, Spectrum and Odim's products are notably
complementary, and the two combine to offer 'end-to-end' cable
handling and towed system solutions. This total capability
encompasses a range of winch systems, tow points, tow blocks,
faired cables, towed vanes and sonar bodies, and other marine
equipment and services.
Approximately 75% of Spectrum's staff are comprised of
professional engineers, designers and technologists, with
practical experience in mechanical, hydrodynamic,
hydraulic and electrical disciplines. Spectrum enjoys a
reputation for arriving at fast, creative and low-cost solutions
to many challenging requirements. Facilities include a
production facility and a main engineering / administrative
office; both located in Peterborough, Ontario. This office is
also responsible for providing engineering and design services
to Odim USA (Houston, TX).
