BLP stated that the new 12,500sqft (3,810sqm) building that sits on 4.5 acres south of Lafayette, Louisiana, is located on Petroleum Parkway and Highway 90 and is a much larger and more modern facility. Along with a 500,000 lb test bed that is being installed this month, there is a 500t ESCO swagger.
Vern McGehee, branch manager in New Iberia, said that the facility expansion will allow the Lafayette branch to grow in Louisiana as well as along the Gulf Coast. "We have needed this move for a while," said McGehee. "This new space allows for greater inventory, new testing facilities and more employees."
