Trauthwein, Associate Publisher & Editor of Marine Technology Reporter. Email: [email protected] This is the Seventh Annual installment of the MTR100, Marine Technology Reporter?s yearly review of 100 compelling companies serving the subsea in- dustry. The chore of sifting hundreds of applications to Þ nd the hidden gems is one of the more harrowing tasks undertaken by the MTR staff in a given year, but the reward is a unique look at 100 companies and technologies ... many names that you know, quite a few that you may not. And the chore this year was particularly difÞ cult, as applications for the honor were up more than 20% over 2011. From its debut in 2006, the MTR100 was geared to not only report on the largest companies serving the market, or the most proÞ table (and for anyone in the know, discovering real Þ nancial details is nearly impossible, particularly among the smaller privately held Þ rms). It is designed instead to offer a fair representation of the wide diversity of small, medium and large companies; a patchwork quilt if you will of the diversity of people, technologies and techniques that come together to weave the fabric that is the subsea industry. The trend toward consolidation continues in 2012, as larger corporate entities con- tinue to seek and acquire unique pockets of knowledge and technology. To that end, you will see several familiar brands with new parents, with, for example, Teledyne, Xylem, L3 and Forum Energy Technologies continuing their respective pushes to bring multiple capabilities under one corporate roof. Speaking of the latter, Forum En- ergy Technologies celebrated its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the Spring of 2012, and is certainly a company to watch in 2013 to see how it may deploy its inß uence across the market. New for 2012 are a series of 10 company reports from our Boston-area correspon- dent, Rhonda Moniz. As many of you have read, both in print and online at SeaDis-covery.com , Rhonda is a regular and highly valued contributor, delivering a keen insight and vast industry experience to her timely reports. The Northeast U.S., and more speciÞ cally the hub in and around Massachusetts, is one of the richest regions for subsea technology innovation on the planet. RhondaÕs task: Find and visit 10 com- panies with compelling people, technologies and stories, a job she handled admirably as I think you will agree when reading her proÞ les throughout this edition.
