When TerraRoc was founded as an independent company in 2019, the Roanoke facility continued operating as an assembly, service, distribution and engineering center of drilling tools.
The Roanoke facility assembles DTH hammers and bits, specializing in large DTH hammers (9” class and larger), hammers and bits for cluster drills, power pole drills and bits, and hammers and diamond bits for oil and gas drilling. The facility has a state-of-the-art DTH test cell for evaluating hammer performance in the laboratory in the course of new product development.
Currently there are seven employees and three sales engineers working remotely. The Roanoke facility is the distribution location for the USA and Canada as well as other locations across the world.
