November 30, 2008 – Hartfiel South acquired eFluidPower as of November 1, 2008. This merger will increase Hartfiel South’s market share in the Texas Gulf Coast region. eFluidPower, located in Houston, TX, is a wholesale distributor specializing in hydraulic and pneumatic components. The company, since 1990, has strived to be the best technical applications distributor in the Texas Gulf Coast region. From its inception eFluidPower specialized in explosion proof stainless steel solenoid valves and valve actuator packages used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas.
“We are at the top of our game in the oil industry and felt it was time for new challenges,” commented Garland Sparks, former eFluidPower President and one of the owners. “We needed the pneumatic and motion control lines to grow our sales and Hartfiel was ready to expand into hydraulics; it was a perfect match. I look forward to the future and all its possibilities as a new member of the Hartfiel South family.”Hartfiel South Inc, part of the The Hartfiel Company since June 2004, provides automation and motion control products and solutions in Texas and Southern Oklahoma. With this acquisition Hartfiel South will strengthen their presence in the Texas Gulf Coast region and will offer eFluidPower’s hydraulic products to their customers in Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Myron Moser, President and CEO of Hartfiel South, looks forward to the new venture and what the future will bring. “eFluidPower has built strong relationships in their area and in key markets such as energy. Everyone at Hartfiel is very excited to work with the additional product lines and we welcome all the eFluidPower employees to Hartfiel South.”
