Timco is a premium provider of tubing and casing services in several key geographic areas, including the Eagle Ford Shale, the Permian’s Delaware Basin, the Haynesville Shale and the U.S. Gulf Coast, with an operating model that closely mirrors Frank’s International. This is a great strategic fit and we look forward to welcoming the talented employees of Timco to the Frank’s International family.”

Mark Guidry, President of Timco, stated “By joining forces with Frank’s International and gaining access to its proprietary technology, we will significantly improve our quality and breadth of services to our clients. Additionally, Frank’s International represents an excellent new home for Timco’s highly skilled and experienced employees.” Once the acquisition closes, Mark Guidry will serve as Vice President of Frank’s South Texas operations.
