Production Energy Services which has been involved in manufacturing of several oilfield related types of equipment such as natural gas compressor packages, wireline units , capillary units and well test equipment, was encouraged and inspired by a well known South Texas ranch supply company to fill a need in the huge fencing industry. There were fences everywhere. There were fence builders in every community and a great potential for a better product. After a year of researching and development of the first models, the Black Cat Post Pounder found its way into a recognized market to both commercial fence builders as well as end users in the likes of independent ranchers, property owners and livestock and game managers.

Fencing has always been hard work and if you raise livestock… you need fences. Necessity is the mother of invention which has opened the doors of always trying to build a better mousetrap. Fighting the economic demand of raising livestock requires having the proper tools to fight those demands.

The rising cost of labor, contract services and value of time have driven technology in the fencing industry. Driving fence posts have become a common sight and have challenged the age old ways of digging, augering, backfilling and taping posts into the ground. These factors were motivators for Production Energy Services to develop the “Black Cat Post Pounder” back in 1998. Since then have grown to having active customers in 31 U.S. states, Mexico and South America, including Uruguay.
