“ And they’ re very quiet,” Steve continues,“ we found that the air conditioners were the noisiest part of the units, so we now are using low noise air conditioners. They are also much easier to operate. Before, you had to have your hands on the controls the whole time you were operating. Now these machines can be set to run into and out of the hole without anyone touching the controls. This is a big advantage when the units are run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for months at a time. It makes for much more efficient operations.”
A significant component of BenchMark Wireline’ s recent successes is its approach to quality. Steve explains:“ One of our biggest markets internationally is China. We’ re one of the few companies that exports to China, and we’ re successfully competing with local Chinese manufacturers.
to design and manufacture all of our own products. Anytime we need to change something or incorporate a new innovation, we can do it in-house. This also sets us apart from our competition; there are very few companies with these capabilities. There are a couple of major Fortune 500 companies that have the same array of expertise, but very few others. Even though we have the ability to make almost all of our products in house we do outsource quite a bit, rather than continuing to increase overhead costs. This industry is known for its cyclical up and down market so this helps us keep our same work force without having to continually increase and decrease our head count. This has helped us keep a workforce with more than half the team having over ten years tenure and over 25 percent with 15 or more years. We think that is a lot considering the company is only 25 years old.”

“ We’ ve found that several of our competitors have tried to copy our products, but after a customer buys a copied product, they come back to us. The copies may look like our product, but they don’ t function the same. It’ s a very niche and technical product, so you really have to understand what its purpose is. We don’ t make any compromises on quality. We build the highest quality and most functional products possible. We are also not afraid to change things and evolve the products when we discover a better way to do something.
“ We have the in-house capabilities to make these changes ourselves. From precision machining and welding to advanced software and electrical engineering, we have the full capabilities
