4-Horn Trench & Shoring Opens Sulphur, La., Branch, Expanding Gulf Coast Footprint
4-Horn Trench & Shoring, a leading provider of trench safety equipment and engineering services for the underground construction industry opened a new branch in Sulphur, La. The facility features a spacious, fully fenced laydown yard, a well-equipped warehouse, and ample office space to support the company’s ongoing growth. Located nine miles west of downtown Lake Charles, the site offers access for customers, field crews, and delivery logistics serving the Gulf Coast region.
With established branches in Beaumont, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Ft. Worth, Texas, and most recently Shreveport, La., the Sulphur branch becomes 4-Horn Trench & Shoring’s eighth location. This expansion strengthens the company’s Gulf Coast footprint and enhances its ability to serve the region’s industrial and infrastructure sectors with faster response times and localized support. Operations at the new branch will be led by outside sales representative Luke Moreau.
“The expansion into Sulphur is a direct response to growing demand from our customers,” said Rhett Lasserre, CEO of 4-Horn Trench & Shoring. “The industrial, petrochemical, and infrastructure development in this region is booming, and contractors need reliable partners who understand the urgency of trench safety. 4-Horn Trench & Shoring is proud to answer that call.”
The Sulphur branch will stock a comprehensive inventory of trench and shoring equipment, including trench boxes, manhole boxes, steel and aluminum hydraulic shoring, slide rail systems, road plates, pipe testing equipment, and more. Whether for rental, purchase, or service, the Sulphur team is equipped to support a wide range of projects from general construction to municipal infrastructure, pipeline, and industrial development.
The new location will also feature on-site consultation services, safety training support, and rapid-response delivery capabilities.
“This new branch is a key step in strengthening our regional network to support customers with speed, reliability, and expertise,” said Jason Hefner, vice president of sales. “Sulphur places us right in the heart of an industrial corridor along the Gulf Coast, allowing us to better serve the needs of the market.”
The Sulphur branch aligns with 4-Horn Trench & Shoring’s long-term strategy to expand its footprint and deliver industry-leading service to customers across North America.
