Acterra has about 60 employees and its customers range across the west and Midwest from Portland, Oregon to Canton, Ohio, and all points in between. In addition to actively marketing its services via direct sales, digital marketing, and trade shows, the company also maintains long-term relationships with major general contractors who have five-year, federal maintenance contracts. “Our Government Services Division, which is all fuel equipment related, has grown significantly,” Cooper notes. “A lot of dollars have been moved to the Department of Defense, so it will be the biggest part of our business. We’re gearing up for quite a bit of work out in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska at some Air Force facilities, where the Missouri River flooded. The work is all fuel-related – repair and maintenance to underground tank systems. The bases are very large, so that’s probably going to take over a year to bring them back to what they originally were before the floods.” THE ACTERRA GROUP
