Smeals purchased UST - npfd801 - 06-19-2014
Interesting to see Smeal's moves the last few weeks. I had heard lots of rumors that UST wasn't doing as well as they would have liked, but didn't put much faith into them given who I heard them from.

I'm personally thrilled by the fact that UST's plant is going to be a Smeal service center. Our Smeal dealer is considerably further away than UST's plant for us, which is only about a 45 minute ride. Though truth be sold, our Smeal has needed very little attention in the time we've had, and none of it took the rig out of our station for repairs.
