I am very sad to see one of my favorite guys just disappear from our industry. Soubi Naddaf.

Here is how I see it.

Soubi being the visionary, the brains and the creator of PumpStar is gone, no longer even on PumpStar's web page.

Than PumpStar is no longer a member of the ACPA and then PumpStar does not renew its sponsor ship of ConcretePumping.com

So I figured its time for me to find out what is going on so I call PumpStar and after about a week or so I get the new president of PumpStar on the phone Mr Richard Secrist Jr. He tells me all is well PumpStar is backed by BlueTee so all is well. He said yes things are slow but they are slow everywhere. We have just made some cut backs like everyone has done. He said that Soubi is still hired as a consultant but is not in the day to day grind.

Just a few observations.

1. BlueTee is not talked about on PumpStar's new Web site. They do have a link to Blue Tee on the links sections but the old web site talked about how Blue Tee and PumpStar are partners.

2. The President is from BlueTee and uses a BlueTee email address not a PumpStar email address.

3. I heard that Richie Brothers has at least 1 PumpStar Concrete pump that has never had concrete pumped through it. I dont know if PumpStar is dumping off its inventory but it kind of looks that way.

Soubi I hope your well. I hope PumpStar can keep the doors open

Who's that big ugly guy on the right?????lol

I dont see a guy like that, lol Just two good looking guys.

C&M he's even has to have a name tag what that for doesn't he no his name LOL.

I WOULD HATE TO SEE PUMPSTAR GO UNDER, THEY HAVE TO MANY PUMPS OUT THERE. AND ALOT OF GREAT GUYS RUNNING THEM AND COUNTING ON PUMPSTAR TO ALWAYS BE THERE
