WILLISTON, N.D. - Primec Controls LLC has entered the North Dakota oil and gas sector.
The business, based out of Williston, N.D., is an affiliate of Estevan Meter Services and Apollo Electric & Controls. Primec Controls intends to offer programming, repairs of relief valves and other items, instrumentation, measurement, electrical and combustion services.
Primec Controls is the result of a partnership between Doug Martens, Jarrad Skuce, Reg Stephen and Dallas Fleck from Estevan Meter Services, and Jason Haugen and Kris Redka, their U.S. partners.
Jason Haugen was a former owner at L&K Electric and subsequent manager for the acquiring company, Expanse Electric. Kris Redka previously managed Twin Services and was employed at Mondak Tank Company.
“Estevan Meter and Apollo Electric have built a reputation of providing top tier technical sales and services through highly trained staff and strategic partnerships with world leading product suppliers,” said Martens, who is the president. “By expanding into North Dakota with Primec Controls, we can take our 54 years of industry experience and extend our renowned services and product offerings to our American partners.
“This investment south of the border will add diversification to our business working with our strategic partner channels, adding enhanced purchasing strength for the mutual benefit of both existing Canadian customers and new U.S. customers.”
Operations will begin effective Dec. 1, offering product sales, combustion, service and shop repairs, with subsequent rollout of services over the first half of 2022.
