Spivey said: “We are excited about working with Mr. Castillo and the team at Green Line Colombia, while the appointment of Saudi Dutest is equally satisfying given that we have been in dialogue with them for several years. We only move forward with the right partners, as these appointments prove.” Green Line Colombia and its customers will benefit from
Modulift literature that has recently been translated into the Spanish language. Spivey said: “It is part of an ongoing initiative to give global partners and distributors every tool they need to be successful and translated material is just one component of that support.” Both Green Line Colombia and Saudi Dutest Industrial Company are already generating widespread interest from industry in their respective geographies in Modulift’s two new products—the Trunnion modular and subsea modular spreader beams. y
Boise Rigging Supply Opens Twin Falls Location
> Boise Rigging Supply has been in business since 1968 and is Southern Idaho’s largest source for electric hoists, rigging and safety equipment and overhead hoist inspections and repairs. They specialize in U.S.-made rigging supplies such as chain and wire rope products and hoists. According to
MagicValley.com, they recently opened their second location in Twin Falls, ID, on Oct. 1. The feature explains that Brent Black, general manger of Boise
Rigging Supply’s Twin Falls branch, said customers could find basically everything that is used to lift or secure a load inside the store.
Boise Rigging Supply was formed by Jim and Betty Black — Brent’s grandparents — in 1968 in Boise. Brent’s uncle Scott Black now owns the company. Brent said it’s a move he’s wanted to make for years. “I have encouraged the company to come to Twin Falls for several
years because of the existing customer base and because Twin Falls is growing so much,” Brent said. “I would consider this a smaller town and you would think you would know everyone, but every day I am meeting new customers and establishing new relationships.” The Twin Falls branch predominately does resale from the Boise home base, though they do currently assemble chain slings in the backroom warehouse. Boise Rigging Supply also serves customers in Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming. Read the full article here. y
