Bishop Lifting Products Relocates Lafayette Branch

January 22, 2013--Bishop Lifting Products' branch in New Iberia moved to Broussard in late November. The new 12,500 sq.-ft. building sits on 4.5 acres south of Lafayette, La. The building is a larger and more modern facility than its previous location.

 

 

Along with a 500,000-lb. test bed that is being installed in January, there is a 500-ton ESCO swagger, a 500-ton National, and a 20,000-lb. walk through spooling machine. This facility expansion will allow the Lafayette branch to grow in Louisiana, as well as along the Gulf Coas.

 

 

Vern McGehee, branch manager in New Iberia, said: "We have needed this move for a while. This new space allows for greater inventory, new testing facilities and more employees."

 

 

This is an ISO 9001:2008 certified location.
