According to Hydroflo’s Director of Sales, Clay Williams, the facility substantially expands its manufacturing, warehouse and quality control operations. New manufacturing equipment was purchased for the facility, and a state-of-the-art test pit have expanded its testing capabilities as well.
“The new test pit is much larger and deeper and greatly improves our range of testing,” explained Larry Jones, Hydroflo VP.
