Success Story
“We are proud to be the fastest-growing piping fabricator not only in the United States, but globally. Our new state-of-the-art, air-conditioned manufacturing facility will be the first of its kind built anywhere. We are committed to providing quality, high-paying jobs to this region, and we would like to thank our state and local economic development partners for making this possible. We chose this location because of the quality workforce available and the accessibility for our products and future growth. As we expand and continue to grow, Louisiana was the perfect place to double-down to make that possible.”
