Due to continuing expansion and growth of
its business in the region, and particularly in
the Gulf of Mexico, Hydratight has outgrown
its old offices and workshops in Houston,
USA, and has moved its operations to new,
larger premises based in the south-east of
the city.
The company’s local DL Ricci rentals
services will also operate from the new
facility, bringing all Hydratight’s services
and operations in the region under one
roof. Hydratight is a leader in bolted joint
and pipeline technology, serving the oil and
gas and power generation sectors amongst
others.
Ms Kathleen Baker, Hydratight’s leader for
its Gulf of Mexico business, said “The move
to this new facility marks an important day
for us in Texas. We have put a great deal
of effort into growing our business in this
region. Our parent company, Actuant, has
shown its faith in our strategy.”
The company’s business leader for
America, Mr Bob Boychuk, added “The
team in Houston has done a wonderful job
in firstly building and then in supporting a
strong customer base. We have come a
very long way in the two years since the
acquisition of Hydratight by Actuant. And
now we have a brand new facility to make
our home.”
