The company provides products and service for the mining, manufacturing, and oil & gas industries, municipal & wastewater authorities, and electrical power generating plants. HistoryService Pump & Supply (SPS) was established January 31, 1980 by Danny and Barbara Vance.[1] In a rented 2500 square ft. building in Barboursville, WV and with a ½ ton pick-up for sales calls and deliveries, the company's objective was to sell Stanco MSHA pumps and service other brands to the coal mines of southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. In 1986, the company switched from carrying the Stanco brand to carrying Flygt pumps and eventually would grow to be Flygt's largest dewatering distributor worldwide.[2] In 2008, the company began manufacturing rockdusters that reduce the risk of fire in underground coal mines.[3] In 2012, amid the economic downturn in the coal market, the company considered moving out of West Virginia. However, the local county development authority and then-Governor and current U.S. Senator Joe Manchin convinced Vance to stay in the Huntington area. Vance at the time said, "I'd almost made the decision and (the Wayne County Economic Development Authority) made me an offer I couldn't refuse".[4] Upon his retirement in 2014, Vance sold the business to West Virginia native and United States Air Force veteran Patrick Farrell of Huntington, WV.[5] SPS currently has locations in West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Illinois. The company's footprint covers the Appalachian Basin, Illinois Basin and Ohio River Basin.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Service Pump & Supply|website=Bloomberg Business|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/0001962D:US-service-pump-&-supply-co-inc}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Governor's Guaranteed Work force Program 2008|url=http://www.wvcommerce.org/business/successstories/governorsguaranee/2008ggwfp--archive/sps.aspx|website=WV Commerce}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Coal-dependent businesses fight to hold on, as industry shrinks|url=http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2012/0902/Coal-dependent-businesses-fight-to-hold-on-as-industry-shrinks|website=Christian Science Monitor}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Service Pump convinced to stay in area|url=http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/service-pump-convinced-to-stay-in-area/article_e0f9f18b-06a4-5b33-89b0-cbf66d042258.html|website=The Herald Dispatch}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Profile - Patrick Farrell|url=http://www.dropboxinc.com/board-of-advisors/patrick-farrell|website=Dropbox, Inc.}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Rep.
