Houma, LA- Southern Thrusters, LLC, based in Houma, LA, announced today the company has expanded operations into a new 11,000 square foot building. The larger footprint increases capacity and expands the level of service the company can provide on-site.
The new facility includes two 10-ton overhead cranes, climate-controlled storage space for on-site parts, a machine shop, a paint booth, and additional unit storage space for customers' equipment. Proactively addressing the ability to better serve a growing customer base, the Southern Thrusters Board of Directors authorized the addition of a full time parts coordinator to the team to manage parts and inventory onsite, creating efficiencies for customers, and promoted General Manager Wilson Theriot to lead the organization as the company continues its growth trajectory across the US.
