Company Description

POLAR COMPANY HISTORY
In 1996 Rig Specialties Inc. was formed to serve the installation needs of Pyramid Manufacturing, (a major manufacturer of drilling rigs). Maritime Hydraulics purchased Pyramid Mfg. and RSI in 1998 and became known as MH-Pyramid.

MORE ABOUT US
From that time until July 2000, R.S.I. crews have performed the installations of derricks on some of the most modern deep water drilling rigs in the world.
Through these projects our crews have grown and expanded their skills and equipment inventories to meet the challenges presented by the advancing technology of the drilling industry. Derricks are not just derricks anymore, they are automated drilling machines and the people making them work must step up as well.

In July 2000, the assets of the derrick installation unit were purchased from MH-Pyramid by the present sole owner/operator, John Harris and Polar Rig Specialties Inc., a totally independent derrick building company was created.

On July 11, 2012, John Harris sold Polar Rig Specialties to Cory Johnson. Cory has been with Polar since day one. He developed into a lead field supervisor over the same period. With his experience, Polar will move on to grow with the ever changing offshore derrick service industry. This sale was arranged in order that the company continue servicing the clients with the enthusiasm and efficiency as it has under it's founder, John Harris who has decided to retire.

Polar is strategically located in New Caney Texas, allowing for close access to many clients and rapid deployment of personnel.

Independence, allowing Polar to work 100% in its customers interest
