experience , expertise , and knowledge to ensure a successful project . As a contractor we fill a niche . We bring the plant and skilled resources to support customer operations to ensure that our clients meet their commitments .
“ In 2021 our portfolio of services expanded with the acquisition of General Drilling , Inc . For more than 50 years General Drilling has provided safe , reliable , and expert solutions to the blast-hole drilling needs of stone quarries . The company is currently made up of a team of dedicated full-time drillers throughout the Midwest and Texas . The Texas division has been instrumental in supporting the activities of our subsidiary company , Victory Rock . That region is one of the most dynamic in terms of growth , so we ’ re working on getting sites up and running as quickly as we can . We perform contract drilling for other aggregate companies . We have approximately 40 drills and that arm of the organization is experiencing tremendous growth .”
Contract services commitment
Looking to the future , Mark shares that the company will remain focused on contract services . “ We are always looking for new opportunities to complement our services . We particularly favor the model of new mine development , alongside production mining and forming long-term working relationships with our customers . Many start-up mining operations are not capitalized with available and redundant specialized equipment . We have the people and resources , but we boast the resources to be able to support those organizations . Some of our customers are managing multi-million-dollar operations , where specialty equipment failures can be extremely detrimental . So , we ’ re here to make sure we reduce downtime for our partners to keep them up and running .” ■
