This new location in the Western portion of the metroplex, will expand our branch footprint while also allowing us to continue to grow our overall position in the market."

The new NTS Fort Worth branch will be managed by Randy Towns a seasoned trench safety veteran who is well known in the greater Dallas and Fort Worth market.
