HOUSTON, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MRC Global
Inc. (NYSE: MRC), the largest distributor of pipe, valves and
fitting products and services to the energy industry, announced
today that it has initiated a rebranding of its global brands. As
part of these rebranding efforts, the company has adopted a new
logo to represent its global brand. While the company will continue
to operate with sub-brands when appropriate, its primary identity
will be the MRC Global brand.
"We have been in business for nearly 95 years and have
experienced a significant amount of growth," MRC Global Chairman,
President & CEO Andrew Lane
said. "Through it all, our core values have given us a platform for
success. Our brand and new logo reflect both this solid foundation
and our promising future."
This change will be most notable in the United States. The company's U.S. business
was previously known as McJunkin Red Man Corporation after the 2007
"merger of equals" between McJunkin Corporation and Red Man Pipe and Supply. It will now operate
under the brand MRC Global™ as MRC Global (US) Inc.
"At its core, MRC Global is all about service," Senior Vice
President – Business Development, Rory
Isaac, said. "This rebranding is our promise to continue the
legacy of integrity, dependability and customer service that our
founding families instilled in the heart of our company."
With the logo change, the company has also officially introduced
the use of its corporate tagline, "We Make Energy
Flow™."
"MRC Global plays a vital role in bringing energy to the world,"
Mr. Lane said. "Our customers are some of the largest energy
producers. We Make Energy Flow™ by efficiently navigating
the complex, global PVF supply chain that plays an important role
in keeping their operations running."
This rebranding initiative will be executed in a phased approach
across MRC Global's operations. To ensure changes are implemented
smoothly and efficiently, the company will communicate with
employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders directly
concerning any impact on their day-to-day business. More
information about MRC Global's sub-brands can be found on its
website.
