The Best in Houston Lifting Products: Bishop Lifting Products Offers the World’s Best Lifting Devices

BLP's New Headquarters Meeting Needs of World's Oil Capitol

One of the world’s premier lifting products distributors is found deep the heart of the energy capital. Houston, Texas is known throughout the globe as the “Oil Capital of the World”, as it is the site of over 5,000 firms related to the energy industry. The city is home to 13 of the country’s 20 largest natural gas transmission organizations, 600 exploration and production companies and nearly 200 pipeline operators.

In addition to the city’s local energy firms, the local Port of Houston is another important component to the regional economy. This port is ranked #1 in the United States for foreign waterborne tonnage and #1 in total tonnage. More than 200 million tons of cargo move through the port every year. Finally, Houston is also home to the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), which is an annual convergence of over 75,000 energy professionals from around the world. Is it any wonder the Houston lifting and rigging industry will continue to grow at an impressive rate?

Lifting devices are necessary for virtually every aspect of the oil and gas industry that so dominates the Houston economy, from exploration and offshore drilling, to production, to transmission, to service and supply. For this reason, Bishop Lifting Products is a trusted organization in the Houston area, and has continued to expand its operations with the development of a new headquarters.
