pipe bending machines and all of the accessories contractors

Tulsa, Oklahoma and encompasses over 12 buildings.
Supplying equipment became the initial launch into the pipeline

a service branch. Clamps, mandrels and pipe bending machines
needed to be converted in order to match the pipe requirements

Transporting equipment back to Tulsa for service and conversions
was the normal procedure for equipment suppliers. DMI had
different plans. To reduce the time for conversions between jobs
and to be available to the contractors on the line, DMI needed to
