Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger has clients that operate along the Gulf Coast and we provide storage tank manufacturing, heat exchanger fabrication, and pressure vessel manufacturing services. We have for more than 50 years!
With our launch of a Gulf Coast marketing and selling territory campaign and regional sales manager, Bendel has again immersed our company into learning more about the Gulf Coast region. Much of the land along the Gulf Coast is, or was, marshland. Ringing the Gulf Coast is the Gulf Coastal Plain which stretches from Southern Texas to the western Florida Panhandle.
As we are all aware, the Gulf Coast is a major center of economic activity, especially for our petroleum and petrochemical clients. The marshlands along the Louisiana and Texas coasts provide breeding grounds and nurseries for ocean life that drive the fishing and shrimping industries. The Port of South Louisiana (between New Orleans and Baton Rouge in Laplace) and the Port of Houston are two of the ten busiest ports in the world by cargo volume. As of 2004, seven of the top ten busiest ports in the U.S. are on the Gulf Coast.
The discovery of oil and gas deposits along the coast and offshore, combined with easy access to shipping, have made the Gulf Coast the heart of the U.S. petrochemical industry. The coast contains nearly 4,000 oil platforms!
