Special thanks to Otter Collective Studio — Jacob and Lily Rigmaiden — for bringing this project to life. Their work reflects the reliability, craftsmanship, and capability PH is known for across Southwest Louisiana and South Texas.

They literally don’t make them like this anymore.

Our PH mechanics are getting ready to repair a homogenizer built in the last century. The client is still using it. It’s a great reminder of how long equipment can last when it’s built right.

For the veteran mechanics and operators out there: do you prefer turning wrenches on this vintage, all-mechanical gear, or do you prefer troubleshooting the newer computer-controlled systems?

When your equipment needs a rebuild—whether it's 5 years old or 50—send it to a team that builds it back right. Let’s talk: 337-436-6014 or visit www.phmachineworks.com.

There’s a moment in every build where the work becomes personal.

This morning, PH co‑owner Ricky Rigmaiden put eyes and hands on a newly built torque and test unit before showing it to a Texas energy services customer.

No rush. No shortcuts. This is a craftsman ensuring the PH standard of "Quality and Reliability" went into building this unit.

If you’ve ever worked in the field, you know this moment — the final check before the customer sees it, when pride and responsibility meet.

Our team built this unit from the ground up, and Ricky’s walkthrough is the last step before it goes to work.

Good equipment starts with good people.

A Partnership Built on Reliability: Project Complete.

We are proud to announce the successful delivery of a major Coiled Tubing Unit (CTU) retrofit for one of our Louisiana energy services partners.

We want to thank our client for the opportunity to service their equipment.

This unit holds a special place for our team—we originally built it years ago. Seeing it return to the shop for a comprehensive modernization was a great chance for our team to show off our full range of capabilities, from machine work and fabrication to complex hydraulic and mechanical systems.

Projects like this are a reminder that the best work happens when you have a client who values quality and long-term performance.

Our team is proud to see this unit back in the field, running stronger and more efficiently than ever.
