New KOBI Group South America office to open in Lima, Peru
Lima, Peru – (August 24, 2009) KOBI Group has recently announced that it will be opening a new office in Lima, Peru in January 2010. KOBI's history as a supplier for the energy sector in Peru began with the first phase of the Camisea Project in 2004, and has continued as a procurement office for several consortiums for all the project's subsequent phases. Since entering the market in 2004, KOBI has expanded into Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Columbia, supplying instrumentation and electrical for many other gas, oil and mining projects.
The new office will be under the direction of Vice President Greg Self, who will be relocating from KOBI headquarters in Texas.

KOBI Divisions Merge to form KOBI Group, Inc
Crowley, Texas – (April 4, 2008) The three divisions of KOBI, KOBI International, KOBI Industries, and KOBI Energy, have recently undergone a reorganization and have been merged to form the KOBI Group, Inc. According to company spokesman Greg Self, the merge, which was completed in March of this year, will enable KOBI to provide its clients with a broader range of products and services more efficiently by consolidating the research, quotation and procurement of all product catagories (instrumentation, electrical and mechanical), while maintaining the dedicated expertise of the company's staff engineers for each type of product.
According to Self, the newly formed KOBI Group "is consistent with our company's position as a project-level supplier, as opposed to a vendor of a limited range of project supplies."
By combining the resources of the three divisions, KOBI Group is able to offer product-specific knowledge and competitive pricing for all of a project's needs in instrumentation, electrical and mechanical, and for bulk items.
