“I’m excited that we are extending our vertical integration for Oil Country Tubular Good products in Shreveport with this threading facility. […] This will enable us to be even closer to our end-customers and our distributors. It is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to the industry and the region. Together with our partners, we will provide finished casing from the mill directly to the drilling locations. We will be able to reach both the Mid-Continent region and Rockies more competitively.” […]

“Economic development projects like this don’t only benefit the state’s economy through investment and job creation, but also by providing support to key industries in our state. […] I thank BENTELER for seeing and utilizing Louisiana’s unique business advantages, like our port system and skilled manufacturing workforce, and reaffirming its commitment to our state and our people.” […]
