COMPANY PROFILE

|
June 2004 marked 38 years of Mid States providing quality pipe fabrication with on-time deliveries for numerous demanding applications.
Mid States Pipe Fabricating was established in June of 1966, with the office and shop located at 1130 East Main in El Dorado, Arkansas. The plant area consists of approximately 70,000 square feet under roof on 14 acres. This facility was retired in 1995.
In April of 1989, we opened our second plant located at 205 Louis Hurley Road in El Dorado. This facility is located approximately 3 miles east of our original location on East Main Street. Accordingly we named it our East Plant. Total plant area covers 33 acres, with 150,000 square feet under roof.
On October 9, 1998, the office moved to new facilities located in front of our East Plant facility at 205 Louis Hurley Road.
