Wood Group has acquired Ingenious Inc., a supplier of proprietary software and consulting services to the global chemical, oil & gas, and energy industries, from its executive leadership team.

The acquisition provides a strong manufacturing operations management (MOM) systems capability that builds upon and diversifies the capabilities of Wood Group MustangdzԹs automation and control business, within which it will operate. IngeniousdzԹs software products consist of remote performance monitoring, production planning and scheduling, and training, including e-learning and training simulators for the process industries.

Founded in 2000 by Vibhu Sharma and Bharat Kamdar, Houston-based Ingenious provides consulting and engineering services to support software sales and non-software related services such as process engineering, design and simulation, and process safety management. Ingenious also has an office in Mumbai, India, that supports regional customers, executes international projects and assists in software development. The Mumbai operations expand the automation and control businessdzԹs geographic footprint and client relationships in Asia and the Middle East.

dzԹThe capabilities Ingenious provides will enhance the scale and breadth of our automation and control business,dzԹ stated Michele McNichol, Wood Group Mustang CEO. dzԹWood Group Mustang has been a client and reseller of IngeniousdzԹs products.
