Efficiency Production Inc., an American manufacturer of trench shielding and shoring safety equipment, recently announced the addition of Luby Equipment Services to Efficiency’s national dealer network.

"We are very excited to be entering into a new venture with a very strong equipment rental company who really understand the dynamics of the underground utility industry in the Midwest," said Gary Bushong, Efficiency’s vice president of sales.

From its headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., Luby Equipment Services will now offer trench safety services and equipment rental for municipalities and contractors in southwest Illinois and eastern Missouri.

"With this new partnership, the future is bright for Luby’s new shoring rental operation," said Tom Ernst, senior shoring specialist of Luby Equipment’s trench shielding and shoring division. "The dealer support we receive from Efficiency is second to none, and that truly makes a difference when working with our customers." said Ernst.

Incorporated in 1971, EPI was the first shoring manufacturer to commercially manufacture and distribute trench shields in the United States and Canada. Since then, Efficiency has grown to be a leading manufacturer of trench shielding and shoring equipment. With a staff of professional engineers, product specialists, and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, Efficiency provides products throughout the United States, Canada, South America and many other parts of the world.
