Valerus, a leading provider of oil and gas handling and processing services and equipment, announced in June that Eric T. Kalamaras has been appointed as the company's chief financial officer, and will replace Todd Rimmer. Kalamaras most recently served as executive vice president and chief financial officer for Delphi Midstream, and served as executive vice president and chief financial officer for Atlas Pipeline. Prior to those roles he worked in senior financial leadership positions at Wells Fargo and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Also, in April, Valerus announced it opened its new facility in Bridgman, Michigan. The facility expands the company’s presence in the North Central region of the U.S. and will help meet growing demand for a wide range of aftermarket field application and repair services for natural gas transmission companies.
The facility serves customers in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. The central location allows quicker response to customers’ operational needs. The facility staff includes OEM-certified technicians who provide services 24 hours a day, including issue diagnosis, parts delivery and installation, and equipment overhauls. The 27,000 square foot center features extensive machining capabilities and three large bays with 10-ton overhead cranes to meet most operational needs.
