As we celebrate our 20th anniversary and look toward 2025 and beyond, we are excited about the opportunities ahead for CORTEC. Reflecting on our journey, we appreciate the progress of our team and company and look forward to the vast potential ahead.
In 2024, CORTEC achieved key milestones, including expanding our global presence through new international distribution partnerships and establishing authorized repair facilities. We added an API 16C license for control panels at our Port Allen location and launched a comprehensive line of fire-rated chokes compliant with API 6FA. Additionally, construction has begun on a 20,000-square-foot expansion of our Port Allen facility to support the growth of our Automation department, which, over the past decade, has developed advanced automation control products tailored to meet various client needs and industry standards.
As the energy industry transforms, CORTEC will be at the forefront, helping to shape its future. Our manufacturing resources and technology provide valuable solutions not only to the upstream oil and gas sector but to the energy sector as a whole. Our premium valve products and capabilities are up to the challenge in various applications such as mining, refining, petrochemical, subsea, LNG, power, and renewable energy. We are committed to expanding our role in the energy landscape, diversifying our offerings, and incorporating new technologies into our products and facilities.
The global perspective on energy sources and consumption is constantly changing, and CORTEC is poised to adapt alongside it. One of our immediate priorities is to further enhance our international footprint by forging strategic partnerships and focusing on localization efforts. While we are committed to expanding the needs of our global clients, we are also dedicated to providing consistent, exceptional value to all. By investing in our team’s skills and expertise, focusing on diversifying our offerings, and integrating new technologies, we aim to elevate the standard of service provided to you as your trusted supplier. Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures that we not only meet but exceed your expectations in the years to come.
We want to take this moment to express our gratitude to our clients and partners. Your trust, collaboration, and unwavering commitment have been key in our 20-year journey at CORTEC. We sincerely thank those who have stood by us over the years and warmly welcome newcomers who joined us this year. It is our privilege to serve you with CORTEC solutions and services.
