Workers say our state is what has made their company successful for so many years.

"We're very focused on the infrastructure of Oklahoma," said Sales Manager Curtis Christiansen. "We also work in the industry of energy for fuel as well as food. We're just very blessed to have an energy market in Oklahoma that keeps us thriving."
