We welcome the RDS employees to our team and look forward to growing the existing business while also expanding our ability to respond to the natural gas compression opportunities in eastern Australia. The variety of experience that Robert and Mike, along with Alex Wright who leads our activities in Australia, bring to this effort positions us well for serving the customers there.”
