The sucker rod manufacturers are fully cognizant of the fact that sucker rods are required to fulfill one of the most stringent tasks that is offered by today's petroleum producing program. In an effort to combat this challenge the industry has solicited the full support of this nation's great metallurgical research capacity.

The capability, integrity and reputation of the manufacturer is entirely reflected in his eventual product.
