Centek Group has opened a US manufacturing subsidiary based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The 80,000 square feet plant is fully self-sufficient in all aspects of centralizer manufacture with its own heat treatment and laser cutting equipment. Initially manufacturing will concentrate on the widely used Centek S2 bow-spring centralizer, which made from a single piece of steel, maximises standoff, flexibility and robustness. The plant operated by Centek Inc. was opened by the Governor of Oklahoma in the presence of industry representatives.

Key Centek personnel are in place and the plant is expected to employ around 50 persons in the first year and to grow from that point. The Oklahoma factory will be a mirror image of the highly successful UK plant and will supply USA, Canada and Mexico. Centek in the USA is a registered US company and will be called Centek Inc. API and ISO certification of the plant is underway and the first centralizers were produced in July.
