Houston, TX, January 2, 2008 - EMS Group (EMS), a North American provider of operations and maintenance services to the energy industry, announced today that Milo "Budd" Melvin has been appointed as Director of EMS Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMS Group. Melvin will oversee and manage business development and operations throughout Canada and will be based in Calgary.
According to Tim Nesler, CEO of EMS Group, "Budd Melvin will be a great asset to our team. Canada is a significant and expanding market for EMS, and EMS Canada is uniquely positioned to meet the operations and maintenance needs of Canada's expanding pipeline assets. To better serve this market, we will also be consolidating our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Celtic Controls Inc. and K&D Oilfield Services, into EMS Canada."
EMS recently acquired K&D Oilfield Services to expand its Canadian presence and enhance its integrated services to Canadian customers.
EMS Group, headquartered in Houston's Galleria area, is recognized as one of the largest providers of operations and maintenance services to the energy industry in North America and the sixth fastest growing privately held company in the Houston area, according to the Houston Business Journal.
According to Melvin, "The EMS integrated service model provides a one-stop-shop for pipeline owners and operators. No other firm can offer the broad scope of services we offer with the on-going investments EMS has made to continuously improve client service and deliver real value."
Prior to joining EMS, Melvin was a market Segment Leader at Champion Technologies, a Houston, TX based specialty chemicals company serving the oil and gas industry. In addition, he is the current Area Chairman of the NACE International Northern Area and serves as the Vice-President on the NACE Foundation Board.
