Unprecedented Growth Launches Globally Expanding Foundation Equipment Company, Pileco Inc., Into New Markets

Unprecedented Growth Launches Globally Expanding Foundation Equipment Company, Pileco Inc., Into New Markets










Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 23, 2008

Longtime Houston-based Pileco Inc. ignited explosive growth after joining forces with German-based BAUER Maschinen GmbH three years ago. Renowned for its technological advances and innovation in hydraulic piling hammers, Pileco Inc. seemed a natural partner for industry legend, BAUER. And together they’re proving an unstoppable force within the foundation equipment and construction industry.

Since becoming a BAUER subsidiary, Pileco has recorded unprecedented growth and drafted plans for new facilities to accommodate the demand. New facilities are planned for Texas and Florida over the next two years. And the ever expanding product line and network of dealers are quickly gaining international attention.

Pileco, which currently has offices in Houston, California and Panama, is the exclusive provider of BAUER products in the western hemisphere and the master distributor of Vulcan, IHC, RTG and MAT throughout the northeastern United States and Mexico.

They have recently added the Pileco HR Hydraulic and Pileco Vibratory Hammers, as well as the BAUER BG-12H drill rig to their product line.

Before bringing Pileco’s California affiliate Pilemac into Pileco Inc., the companies reported combined revenues of $ 16 million in 2005. Today operating under a single name, Pileco reports revenues in excess of $ 90 million.

“We have taken the traditional business practices and dedication to employee growth that has served us well since Pileco was founded over 40 years ago and combined it with the deeply rooted history and immense experience of BAUER,” said Pileco President George Smith.

“This has enabled us to form a foundation equipment company with a strong industry presence and lasting relationships, ” Smith added.

Despite the company’s rapid growth and expanding market presence, Smith underscores their dedication to the personal approach and a handshake ease that has prevailed in Pileco’s business practice.

Though original Pileco founder, Otto Kammerer, has passed on his executive duties, he continues to clock in and monitor progress of the company whose doors he first opened in 1966. His Pileco predecessors share his innovative vision that has captured global attention and garnered well-deserved respect within the industry.

Expanding work in custom-design fabrication, Pileco Inc. simplifies the job of machine operators and meets changing industry demands. They offer an expansive line of pile driving and drilling equipment and accessories, along with industry expert knowledge and worldwide service and support.

Houston’s Pileco Inc. Makes Business News as Parent Company BAUER Maschinen Boasts Plans for Increasing US Manufacturing










Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 9, 2008

As word of the new state of the art facility global foundation equipment company BAUER Maschinen plans for the Conroe area with its subsidiary and exclusive provider of BAUER products in the western hemisphere, Pileco Inc., media interest peaked.

Amid growth and office expansion in Houston, Panama, California and Florida, it is the Conroe project that has BAUER and Pileco executives alike most excited.

The new development will not only contain new corporate offices but also a manufacturing facility, in order to begin manufacturing much of the equipment currently shipped from Germany and China.

“We believe that this partnership has been significant for both BAUER and Pileco. We have distributed the quality BAUER equipment for many years, but to now bring the manufacturing of this superior ingenuity to Texas is something for which we are very proud,” said Pileco President George Smith.

According to Pileco Chief Operating Officer Don Mangum, the new facility will require hundreds of new employees and enable domestic clients to more rapidly obtain equipment they need and custom fabrication they require.

The Houston Chronicle article featured a drawing of the new manufacturing facility, which will sit on nearly 80 acres in the Conroe Industrial Park. Both journals reported that construction of the 200,000-square-foot facility designed by Houston-based KDW will begin in July. The first phase of several is scheduled to be complete July of 2009.

Renowned Foundation Equipment Company Pileco Inc. Instrumental in Houston Ship Channel Repair Following Hurricane Ike

Renowned Foundation Equipment Company Pileco Inc. Instrumental in Houston Ship Channel Repair Following Hurricane Ike










Houston, Texas (PRWEB) November 19, 2008

Miles of devastation both on land and water were left in the wake of Hurricane Ike early September, which was reported as one of the most damaging storms to hit the Texas coast in decades. Despite the crippling blow to Houston and Galveston communities, local businesses wasted no time in beginning work towards restoration – including Houston-based foundation equipment company Pileco Inc.

Among the damage assessed following the storm, the Houston Ship Channel was reported to be “90 percent wiped out.” The channel, which runs between the continental interior and the Gulf of Mexico for both petrochemical products and Midwestern grain, lost more than half of the important navigation markers on which ship pilots rely.

A key part of restoring the channel markers and reopening the ship channel to traffic were Pileco pile drivers, used to drive the piles upon which large green, white and red panels with flashing lights sit visible to ship pilots.

According to an NPR report, just hours after the storm the coast guard set up temporary foam buoys with lights and began planning for the platform required for the pile driving rigs. The Hatchet, a 75 foot boat, became the headquarters for the marker rebuilding effort in the Houston Ship Channel.

The Houston Ship Channel runs “The storm was a real blow to the community. While the coast took a direct hit, the effects were felt much more broadly as offshore oil platforms were destroyed and important cargo ship traffic was halted,” said Pileco COO Don Mangum.

“It is great to be a part of the restoration effort and see our equipment in demand to meet critical needs,” said Mangum, who just weeks after the storm accepted on behalf of Pileco the Fastest 100 Award from the Houston Business Journal.

While Pileco Inc. has become an international company representing an extensive line of foundation equipment, it is their innovative work in pile driving technology that formed its foundation. And a new manufacturing facility in Conroe with partner and parent company BAUER Maschinen GmbH will ensure more rapid availability of essential foundation equipment and custom design fabrication when needed.

This past year Pileco announced expansion within its lines of diesel and vibratory hammers, as well as the addition of a new air hammer and BG-12H BAUER drilling rig. The exclusive distributor of BAUER products in the western hemisphere, the company is also the distributor of IHC, RTG, MAT, PRAKLA, EURODRILL and BETEK products throughout the northeastern United States and Mexico. They now have offices in Texas, California, Florida and Panama.

FOLIOfn Launches “Low Volatility” Folios: About Half the Volatility of the S&P 500, but With Strategic Exposure to Equities

FOLIOfn Launches “Low Volatility” Folios: About Half the Volatility of the S&P 500, but With Strategic Exposure to Equities











Vienna, Va. (PRWEB) March 19, 2008

FOLIOfn, the innovative online brokerage firm and provider of investment portfolios, launched two Low Volatility Folios last month, which have the goal of offering about half the volatility of the S&P 500, while still retaining strategic exposure to equities to boost long-term expected returns.

The “Low Volatility Folio” is comprised of a mixture of ETFs and individual stocks, while the “Low Volatility ETF Folio” is comprised entirely of ETFs. These Folios are built out of securities with a low correlation to one another and the broader market, and also feature screens on volatility.

During periods when the return of the S&P500 increases or decreases significantly, the return on these portfolios are designed to increase or decrease by smaller amounts. In other words, the lower volatility of these folios means that their maximum returns and losses in any given period are likely to be of a lower magnitude than those experienced by the S&P500. These portfolios may be attractive to medium and long-term investors who want a portfolio that does not track the market during periods of large market swings, but that can provide equity exposure with lower volatility than the broader market.

A white paper discussing the theory and construction of FOLIOfn’s Low Volatility Folios — written in an easy-to-understand and informative way — can be found at FOLIOfn’s website.

FOLIOfn (http://www.foliofn.com) was selected as “Best of the Web for Alternative Investing” by Forbes magazine. Its unique, patented Folio Investing offering enables investors to create their own Folios — much like creating a personalized ETF or mutual fund. Folios can afford significant tax advantages, ability to customize, transparency, and lower costs, while allowing for proper diversification. Investors can also choose from over 100 Ready-To-Go (RTG) Folios, representing different market indices, sectors, geographic locations and asset classes. In addition, investors can purchase investment vehicles such as mutual funds and ETFs cost-effectively. The FOLIOfn platform allows commission-free investing for a low monthly fee, as well as dollar-based and fractional share investing. Folios can be managed or unmanaged and are offered by FOLIO Investments, Inc. a registered broker dealer, and are not registered investment companies.
