Houston-based Taurus Industrial Group announced its acquisition of Amber LP, an electrical and instrumentation services provider to the downstream and industrial sectors.

From engineering to implementation, Taurus provides professional services for electrical and power systems, automation and control instrumentation, civil and mechanical projects, rotating and reciprocating equipment maintenance, refractory and plant turnarounds.

Amber LP provides industrial process control and electrical installation services, including electrical and fiber optic installations, underground electrical work, pole line work, instrumentation calibration, loop check, and startup assistance.

“Amber has a stellar reputation in our industry for quality and safety, which are the most important factors in our work,” said Ernest “Rocky” Revia, CEO of Taurus, in a recent press release. “They are a premier service provider in the E&I arena along the Texas Gulf Coast.  For the past 40+ years, we have worked alongside Amber in many facilities where we have seen their commitment to safety and quality, attention to detail, and superior project performance.  We would like to thank the Shrum family for their stewardship of Amber and look forward to their continued leadership as we continue to provide and expand E&I services,” he added.

Continuing as president of Amber, Raymond Shrum said in the statement, “Joining forces with Taurus was a natural fit.  They have a long history in our industry and provide complimentary services to create a one-stop solution for our customers.”
