Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based LB Foster Company has completed the relocation of its threaded products water well group from Houston to a new facility in Magnolia, Texas.
The Magnolia plant uses advanced technology and has extended operating hours to increase production capacity. "The new facility provides our production team with single flow manufacturing that expedites the movement of pipe through our threading process," said Merry Brumbaugh, vice president, LB Foster Tubular Products.
The new facility is strategically located adjacent to LB Foster's joint venture operation, LB Pipe & Coupling Products, LLC. "It will now allow us to coordinate product inflow and outflow more efficiently with LB Pipe to assure our customers receive timely orders of column pipe," said Gary Foerster, general manager sales, LB Foster Tubular Products.
The new Magnolia site stands on 40 acres and provides for product storage and future growth. The company has moved its experienced team to the new plant north of Houston and will be hiring new employees.
LB Foster Company is a leading manufacturer, fabricator and distributor of products and services for the rail, construction, energy and utility markets with locations in North America and Europe.
