NEW CLIENT! SMS Millcraft - Osceola Arkanas

SMS is a new company located to Osceola, Arkansas. Considering the new steel mill in Osceola, Arkansas requires equipment to be serviced regularly, part of that service includes cutting solidified steel from equipment, including rollers so they can be re-manufactured as working parts. SMS has a group of individuals that will need to be able to use a torch properly to make these repairs without damaging costly equipment. Part of the training will be how to operate equipment safely, for an untrained individual this could be a liability for the company.
