transmise le 20 avril 2012 par Business Wire

MOGAS Industries, Inc is excited to announce a new division, MOMENTUM SERVICES, which will begin operations immediately. MOMENTUM SERVICES will initially be responsible for industrial customers requiring precision cleaning of equipment for stringent service. “Unlike other cleanrooms in this region, MOMENTUM SERVICES will have the unique capability of handling heavy components with our 2, 3 and 5 ton cranes. We currently have over 3,000 square feet of clean environment with more than 1,400 square feet of that footprint dedicated to procedural cleaning, assembly and packaging. Also of great interest is MOMENTUM SERVICES’ uncommon ability to adapt to a variety of shapes and sizes from small to large and from standard shapes to unusual configurations. This includes everything from valves, piping, tubing, fittings and other industrial equipment,” said Sam Furman, VP of Operations. Furman continues, “Our service technicians will prepare, clean and verify each component according to strict customer specifications and relevant industry standards. After each item is thoroughly cleaned, they will be bagged, labeled and fully documented.” The ability to clean components without having to ship them across country will have a great impact on the delivery schedules of customers within the greater Houston area. Local cleaning will shorten their shipments by a significant margin.
