Service Center Grand Opening in Longview, Texas
“What took you so long to open here?”
was the response from the majority of the Oil Service Company
customers during an open house held in June. The new Longview,
Texas branch has drawn the attention and praise of all eight
service companies located in the area.
On June 18 Weir SPM hosted a Grand Opening celebration at its
Longview, TX facility in East Texas. Over 250 customers from the
area were invited to join members of the Weir SPM team for barbeque
and door prizes, and to tour the new facility. Products such as the
Safety Hammer, Safety Iron and Flow Line Safety Restraint System
were displayed in the shop as well. The new 8,500 sq. ft. facility
in Longview is centrally located for the East Texas customers, and
is a welcomed source of recertification services by the local well
service companies.
In an effort to increase its geographic presence with its
customer base, Weir SPM has begun implementing plans to
open new service facilities around the world, aimed to
facilitate a quick response capability for customer needs. These
service facilities will offer flow control recertification, new
product sales, pump repair in select locations, and other post-sale
support services.
Longview is located within an hour’s drive of Bossier City, the
hub for the recently discovered Haynesville Shale which covers
northwest Louisiana. This shale may rival the Barnett Shale in
quality and size.
