‘Schuler Built’
Two Minot businessmen are looking to leave their mark – literally – on the burgeoning oil industry creeping ever closer to the Minot area. Brothers Mike and Danny Schuler are now marketing “Schuler Built” tanks, shale bins and mud manifolds for the oilfield. All Schuler products carry “Schuler Built” signs so that people know right where they came from. “We’re just trying to get our feet in the door in the oilfield,” said Danny Schuler. “We’ve been building some tanks and some custom mud manifolds for the rigs. There isn’t a whole lot of guys around here building these tanks.” “As a matter of fact, there’s nobody, except in Canada,” Mike Schuler added. Danny Schuler said that the shale bin currently under construction in their shop is the fourth they have done. “We’ve built a bunch of sets of manifolds and a flow back tank, we’ve built a few things for out there (in the oilfield) already,” Mike Schuler said. “We’ve got about 14 sets of those manifolds out already.
