New Opportunities Drive Lonestar West Expansion Into U.S. Market
SYLVAN LAKE, AB, Jan. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - Lonestar West Inc. (TSXV: LSI) today announced its recent expansion into The United States. The Company opened an office in late 2012 and now has several Hydrovac trucks operating in the State of California.
Management's decision was based on an opportunity to expand into the California market with the assistance of a highly experienced individual who had considerable involvement in managing Hydrovac operations for infrastructure projects. As such, Lonestar West has been solely focused on infrastructure projects in the state and is running near capacity.
"We are extremely pleased with the results of our California operations to date," said James Horvath, CEO of Lonestar. "This expansion fits our long term plan for continued growth and diversification of our operations while continuing to grow at a prudent level."
Lonestar expects its fleet to grow to approximately 50 trucks by early April with the delivery of 8 additional Hydrovac trucks. Current utilization of the fleet continues to run near full capacity.
