HOUSTON, June 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- American Block, a leading global designer and manufacturer of Oilfield Drilling and Marine Lifting Equipment, is pleased to announce the opening of a second U.S. based Repair and Service Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The new 20,000 square foot facility, located at 6700 S. Sooner Road, will offer Repair and Refurbishment Services on O.E.M. Drilling and Well Servicing equipment. Appointed as Division Manager is Randy Little, formerly with Patterson Drilling Company.
"I'm thrilled about the opportunity here with American Block. The facility here in OKC is first-class and we have a lot of room for growth," said Randy Little, Division Manager Oklahoma City Facility. "We will eventually expand our service offerings to include blast and paint, machining, and field services to provide even more solutions to our clients."
The facility will also be used as a stocking point for many of American Block's products such as Sheaves, Bearings, and Aftermarket Spare Parts for drilling equipment.
"There were several strategic meetings involved when planning our next U.S. based Repair and Service Center, but we finally decided on Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as we feel that there are a number of quality drilling contractors in the area that are currently underserved, and hiring Randy was a big part of that decision. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience on mechanical drilling equipment and ancillary field production equipment, and his expertise is exactly what we were looking for in a candidate for that position," said Jack Franklin, General Manager Repair Division for American Block.
Randy has more than 38 years of knowledge and experience in the manufacturing, repair, and maintenance of Oilfield Drilling and Well Servicing Equipment.
