Field Service 29.03.2018 65

Field Service capabilities: All of North America

- Currently we have one field service technician. We will be adding

another person to that team in the near future to create a 2 person service

team. They are currently located out of the Sioux City, SD facility and will

be servicing units throughout the Midwest.

- A plan is being formulated to also put a service team in place for the

gulf coast region stationed out of the Broussard, LA facility.

- As these needs grow we will be happy to add Field Service Techs to

provide the services customers need.
