HOUSTON, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OFI Testing Equipment, Inc. (OFITE) expands worldwide headquarters and operations facility located in Houston, Texas. The expansion of an additional 40,000 square feet of manufacturing, training, and engineering space is designed to facilitate the growing demands for drilling fluids, cement, and core testing equipment product lines while expanding capabilities for other manufacturing services.
OFITE has designed and manufactured testing equipment for the upstream oil and gas market for over thirty years. During the recent downturn in drilling activity they took a step backward to look at what they could do as a company to diversify into other segments of the energy industry and beyond.
Identifying their core competencies in design, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics, along with their global network of distributors, they are now positioned to offer contract manufacturing services to organizations that may have need in one or all of these competencies.
The expansion of the worldwide headquarters was designed specifically to manage the growing customer demand for OFITE's established product lines, new product development, and contract manufacturing services.
In a statement related to the completion of the expansion President & CEO, Kyle Schroeder, said:
"We are extremely pleased with the completion of the new addition. The new campus enables us to centrally locate all of our operations and improve our efficiency in the delivery of products and service to our customers"
OFITE's primary focus is to support our customers and grow by offering customers a unique, "one-stop-shop" for new product development and fulfillment. OFITE pairs a global supply chain with product development experience to offer customers the ability to focus on getting their products to market in a timely manner to meet their growing customer demands.
