Business manager Anne Hunter said: “In the oil & gas industry, time is money, which means that we have to do our job within a minimum amount of time, everything is planned thoroughly to the hour. Any breakdown of equipment on the job would be disastrous. This is why we count on Tadano´s reliability to get the job done.”
