    Core Laboratories celebrates five-year listing anniversary by sounding gong

    In celebration of its five–year listing anniversary on the Amsterdam exchange, Core Laboraties (ticker symbol: CLB) sounds the gong, at the opening gong ceremony signaling the start of the trading day. This ceremony will coincide with Core Lab’s 2017 annual shareholder meeting to be held in Amsterdam later in the day. David Demshur, CEO Core Lab, sounds the gong.

    When Core Laboratories (Core Lab) announced its intentions on 18 April 2012 that it planned to dual list its shares on Euronext Amsterdam, the company’s European institutional investor share ownership was just 5%; today the European ownership of Core Lab has increased to almost 14%. The company attributes this dramatic increase to shareholder focus on companies that generate high levels of Return on Invested Capital and free cash flow. The dual listing on Euronext Amsterdam has made this very successful outcome possible.

    Core Lab is proud to have its dual listing on Euronext Amsterdam, especially given its historical ties to the Netherlands, its large operational footprint in the Netherlands with employees and laboratories in Rotterdam, Vlaardingen and Amsterdam, and its client base throughout Europe.

    Core Lab is a leading provider of proprietary and patented reservoir description and production enhancement services used to optimize petroleum reservoir performance. The company has over 70 offices in more than 50 countries and is located in every major oil-producing region in the world.
