Global Services, which is  based in Dallas, Texas, is expected to bring innovative service solutions to customers in areas such as supply chain, engineering, maintenance and training.

Deal said: "We've been talking with our customers over the past few months as we've prepared for this transition, and tomorrow, they can begin to see the value of this dedicated services unit that allows us to deliver agile, cost-competitive solutions so they can reduce costs, drive efficiency and ultimately optimise their operations."
