- SBO AG manufactures high-precision components and advanced drilling equipment primarily for the oil and gas service industry, along with emerging applications in space, aerospace, semiconductors, geothermal energy, and carbon capture and storage. The company operates through two main divisions, Precision Technology and Energy Equipment; Precision Technology produces custom steel components including non-magnetic steels, high-precision internals for measurement-while-drilling tools, and additive manufacturing solutions via 3D metal printing for mission-critical parts; Energy Equipment provides high-tech drilling tools such as durable high-power motors for directional and horizontal drilling, rotary steerable systems from D-Tech, circulation tools like the PBL tool from DSI, and well-completion solutions including frac plugs from WellBoss, with 24/7 repair and maintenance services available globally. SBO AG serves oilfield service providers, energy transition sectors, and high-tech industries worldwide, with operations across Europe, North America, Middle East, Latin America, Asia, including facilities in Austria, USA, UAE, Canada, UK, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia. Founded in 1862 and headquartered in Ternitz, Austria, the company changed its legal name from Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment Aktiengesellschaft to SBO AG in July 2025 to reflect its strategic realignment toward diversification and innovation. Recent developments include the acquisition of UK-based 3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd completed in 2025 to bolster 3D metal printing capabilities, expansion into flow control applications with NORSOK-listed high-performance materials for subsea use, growth in geothermal and Middle East markets following the prior acquisition of Praxis Completion Technology, and investments in new facilities such as a reline and distribution center in Houston operational from January 2026.
