LAI International, Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ) has secured contract awards for manufacturing precision components used for oil and gas exploration. LAI uses advanced processes to manufacture a series of flex couplings, which incorporate an interlocking design in four-feet-long alloy steel pipe, used to steer down-hole drilling operations for extraction of oil and gas. Under a multi-year agreement with a dominant U.S. oil and gas exploration company, the contracts are expected to be valued at more than $1 million.
"We have been successful in using proprietary manufacturing technologies to process a vertebrae-segment design in the components to facilitate greater flexibility in our customer's drilling operations,? Thomas Sterner, Operations Support Manager for LAI, said. "These cutting-edge processing methods allow LAI to accommodate our customer?s need for high-performance products in a highly competitive environment.?
The components will be manufactured at LAI's facility in Westminster, MD.
