Skilled crews.On your yard.When you need them.
Marine, offshore and industrial labor contractor based in Lockport, Louisiana since 1993.
Thirty-plus yearsof showing up.
Masse Contracting was incorporated in 1993 in Lockport, Louisiana, as a professional labor company serving the state's industrial and commercial sector. The plan was simple. Supply qualified, dependable, safety-trained tradesmen, and show up when we said we would.
The reputation came early and it came from the field. Yards that used us once called again. Demand from repeat customers pushed our growth above 40 percent on average and carried us into full offices in Amelia / Morgan City, Houma, New Orleans, Gulfport, and Moss Point / Pascagoula.
Today we are one of the largest labor contractors in the Gulf region, with a workforce that averages around 800. Full-time safety and training staff. Certificates of insurance issued in your company's name. References on request. Thirty-plus years in, the promise has not changed.
“We've built this company on one promise — the right tradesman, on your site, on time. Call any of our customers and ask.”
