For more information please contact the individual below.

My client has been in continuous operation for over 100 years and each year, during the past ten years, has seen an increase in business and has been able to see an increase in their profit margin.  They have successfully been able to continue to penetrate their market space and have, in the past five or so years, purchased some of their competitors, thus expanding their market share.  They manufacturer a very specific product used in their market sector and have a solid history.

One aspect of this client is that they are very clear in what they are looking for in terms of candidates for all of their positions and take all of their potential “new” employees through a very extensive interview process.  While their process is extensive it usually ensures that both my client and candidate are good fits for one another.

Our Client is the world’s premier corrosion protection system for oilfield steel tubular goods in down-hole service. One product is a fiberglass-epoxy liner placed inside steel tubing, and it comprises the bulk of our client’s sales activity. Our client has successfully managed to develop worldwide name recognition for their product line, as well as a reputation of providing excellent corrosion solutions. This effort is supported by a very professional level of representation in worldwide manufacturing and marketing partners.

Highlights of recent activities include inquiries for our client’s products into sour gas & oil production applications, as well as offshore large diameter water injection wells. In addition, the results of recent R&D efforts show considerable promise of offering several new liner systems to their corrosion showcase. It is their goal to develop and maintain the most comprehensive offering of liner options to fit the full spectrum of oilfield applications; from shallow water injection wells to high temperature deep sour-gas production wells, for both onshore and offshore service. A new welding connection technology will also benefit the marketing of our client’s internal linings for transportation lines and pipeline projects.

Domestic sales of our client’s products into the key area of secondary and tertiary oil recovery projects have demonstrated steady growth. Future CO₂ and water-flood expansion projects in the Mid-Continent and Permian Basin should support steady booking levels. Improved throughput capacity at the West Texas and the new North East Texas plant has been a necessary and rewarding complement to the sales growth.
