“ This is our 25th year of operations. We have been through a lot including purchasing other companies both in the US and Europe then merging them into our company. We also have survived two floods in back-to-back years, 2016 and 2017. With each flood we had over a foot of water inside the entire building, which ruined a lot of equipment and required the walls and floors to be rebuilt twice. We were told that this building had never flooded before until we had a 500-year flood in May of 2016 and then Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017. With peak accumulations of 60.58 in( 1,539 mm), in Texas, Harvey was the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the United States. This is a part of history you do not want to be a part of.”
“ Our core business at BenchMark is wireline cable measuring systems, including the device that rides the cable and the display the operator sees, that are used in wireline
operations,” continues Joey.“ It’ s a really niche market; at the time we bought the business, there weren’ t a lot of competitors. We figured we could sell a few because there wasn’ t a lot of third-party equipment available. The major companies had their own, but independent outfits didn’ t. We felt like we could expand to service more of the independent companies.”
“ Funnily enough,” Steve says,“ in the previous companies we worked at for many years we were working with this type of equipment. This gave us a good insight of what is needed so we started to design and develop a completely new product line. Then the companies we had previously worked for began to buy equipment from us to replace the original equipment we had used and designed. They use their own bespoke model, but buy it from us. Baker Hughes and Halliburton, who we have both worked for, are now our biggest two customers.”
