Issue #442 | October 4, 2023

PF Holdings (ProFrac/Alpine Silica) making some very interesting news this week. Both Matt Wilks (Chairman – ProFrac) and Matt Zinn (SVP – Alpine) will be speaking in November, maybe they will share more on this?

We extended out the exhibiting area to accommodate more booths, but please reach out soon if you hope to exhibit. Join companies like Vorto/5F, High Roller Sand, Twin Eagle, PropX, Maxxim Industries, IAC, Assured Integration, Hi-Crush, and so. many. more.
