Total Safety Acquires Oil Field Safety and Western Fire
HOUSTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Total Safety, the leading global provider of integrated safety services
and compliance solutions, announced today it has acquired Oil Field
Safety, Inc. ("OSI" ) based in Williston, North Dakota and Western Fire &
Safety, Inc. ("Western" ) based in Dickinson, North Dakota. With over
twenty years of customer service each, the companies will add to Total
Safety's Williston Basin presence through additional air, gas, and fire
services. OSI provides critical safety services to the upstream energy
markets including air, gas, and fire services to complement their
equipment rental fleet. Western complements the portfolio with a focus
on fire services (fixed and portable systems) and personal protective
equipment to both the up- and midstream energy markets and various fire
departments across North Dakota.
"We are excited to partner with the energetic and talented team at OSI
and Western," said David E. Fanta, Chief Executive Officer of Total
Safety. "The leadership teams have a commitment to safety and excellence
that mirrors our own. We are looking forward to extending our additional
capabilities to their current customers, some of which we've been proud
to serve elsewhere but simply didn't have the strong local presence to
meet their needs until now. OSI's office in Williston will provide an
immediate footprint to expand our services further north from our
geographic base while Western's capabilities complement our current
Dickinson office very well."
Randy Jilek, President and CEO of Western and OSI, noted, "We are very
eager to provide our clients with additional services now that we are
part of the Total Safety family. We know this combination will be
advantageous for our clients and our loyal employees." Randy Jilek will
continue to manage the business in Dickinson while Ben Weltikol will
continue his leadership in Williston; both will dedicate themselves to
their continued high standard of customer service.
Specific financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
