“ We ’ re by no means abandoning our
traditional business , as it ’ s the foundation
that ’ s affording us the opportunity to diversify , and arguably , certain members of those sectors are leading the way . We ’ re just adding more to our product families , to ensure that we can still be a part of the
energy market no matter how the landscape looks in another 75 years from now .”
Environmental strategy
Lamons is currently looking to expand
its Houston-based headquarters to facilitate the implementation of its shift towards renewables , as well as suitable acquisition opportunities to support its entry into the sector .
Elsewhere , the organization has recently invested in a new location in Corpus Christi , TX , as an addition to its six other sites that cater to its Gulf operations .
“ On the technology side ,” explains Kris , joining the conversation , “ we have been making significant improvements to our system capabilities . A lot of our Fortune 500 customers prefer to use EDI-based transactions and have automatic reordering systems in place .
“ We have devised several mechanisms to fulfil these requirements , including a business-to-business portal in which they can easily organize their purchases . All our advancements in this segment are in place to ultimately make it easier for our end customers to do business with us .
“ However , as we ’ re gearing towards new product-type introductions , we ’ re spending a lot of time researching how we can become verticalized in these new markets ; to enhance our offerings organically through our own design efforts .”
