Drill Rig Manufacturer Deepens Ties to Partner Hardwick Machinery
Rotary drilling rig manufacturer Schramm has formed a new joint venture venture with Salt Lake City-based equipment design and repair firm Hardwick Machinery. In a release, Schramm says the partnership enables Schramm to offer a wider array of aftermarket services to customers worldwide, including same-day on-site maintenance at mines throughout the western United States.
“After many years of close cooperation between Hardwick and Schramm, we have elected to double down on our relationship,” says Justin Hardwick, president of Hardwick Machinery. “The product of this partnership will be nothing less than a powerhouse of the global drilling industry, an integrated entity capable of building and maintaining rigs from end to end. The biggest winners of the joint venture are our customers, who will enjoy speedy, reliable and quality service, no matter where in the world they are operating.”
