Press Release:
  Feb 28, 2013 — SPRINGFIELD, OH - Konecranes, a global leader in the manufacturing and servicing of overhead cranes and lifting equipment, announces the opening of a new service branch in Sulphur, LA to serve the Southwest Louisiana area.

“We are very excited about the opening of this new branch,” said Philip Olmsted, Service Supervisor. “It is a wonderful opportunity to continue to offer excellent service to all our customers in the area, and we are eager to add more skilled technicians to our team.”
