LAI Lands Contract for Manufacturing Components Used for Oil Exploration

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.
