Wayne Wadley, President of CERF Inc. comments “We are excited to have a
successful oilfield rental company join the CERF group of companies.
We look forward to being able to participate more directly in Alberta’s
strong oil and gas industry. TRAC’S management and staff have
demonstrated impressive growth over the past several years and that is
a testament to their commitment to supplying a quality rental fleet
with a high level of service. We expect that to continue within CERF.
We are also delighted that Cameron and Travis will remain in leadership
roles with TRAC and continue to guide its strategic direction. TRAC
supplies much needed drilling and service rig related equipment to both
large and smaller oil and gas production companies in Alberta. They
have a modern diverse fleet that we believe will continue to be in
demand. We look forward to continuing to enable TRAC to grow within
their existing customer base and to providing more equipment to new
customers requiring their fleet.”
