About Orphan Industries
Orphan Industries Limited is DFB Group's export manufacturing entity. The company was established in 2006 when DFB Group identified manufacturing and export opportunities for advanced mechanical offshore and marine systems. Today, Orphan Industries offers contract manufacturing, machining and fabrication of complex structures and systems consisting of a variety of metals to clients worldwide.
Orphan's flagship product, the Launch and Recovery System
(LARS), is used to launch and recover Remotely Operated Vehicles
(ROVs) during offshore oil operations. These 30-feet-by-12-feet
assemblies are fabricated from exotic steel and are used primarily
by the offshore oil and gas industry. LARS are generally
deployed in harsh environments, and therefore, require precise
fabrication adhering to strict international standards.
In addition to LARS, Orphan Industries manufactures traction
winches and Temporary Guide Bases (TGBs), which are used for large
subsea oil and gas structures.
In 2007, Orphan Industries Limited won the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters' Canadian Innovation Award for Productivity Improvement and was named Newfoundland and Labrador's Exporter of the Year in 2008.
