New Belle Fourche (South Dakota) Industrial Park Ramping Up to Serve Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming

The Rapid City Journal is reporting:

A Rapid City man has been hired to manage the Permian Tank manufacturing plant in Belle Fourche, the anchor and first company to build in the city's new Industrial park.

Permian makes steel tanks and other steel equipment for the oil industry.

The new Belle Fourche facility will serve growing petroleum exploration markets in Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana.

Permian is headquartered in Odessa, Texas, and has been fabricating steel equipment for the petroleum industry since 1976. It has steel and fiberglass tank operations in Texas and Oklahoma and has its own fleet of trucks.

The company is the first to commit to the new Industrial Rail Park, which is the result of a $4.5 million city investment.
