TULSA, Okla., June 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE:SEMG) announced today it has expanded its Tulsa headquarters at Two Warren Place to a total of 175 employees. The company recently transferred 51 positions from Oklahoma City to Tulsa. SemGroup specializes in transportation, storage, distribution, marketing and other midstream services in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
“This relocation is important to the continued expansion of our business and our goal of promoting the ‘One Sem’ culture,” said Carlin Conner, president and CEO of SemGroup.
“Over the last year it became clear to the SemGroup senior management team that the current limited geographical separation between two separate headquarters, the Tulsa and OKC offices, impeded our ability to fully capitalize on our business opportunities, leverage synergies and deliver more efficient growth,” he added.
The Tulsa Regional Chamber provided relocation assistance to SemGroup, ensuring potential transfers received in depth information on the attributes of working and living in the Tulsa region.
“SemGroup’s consolidation of employees into the Tulsa headquarters proves that the Tulsa region, while enduring some losses in the energy sector over the past year, continues to be well-suited for headquartered companies and talented employees in the energy sector,” said Mike Neal, president and CEO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
“The Chamber regularly assists companies with relocation assistance and guidance for employees during these types of transitions, and we’re pleased the SemGroup transition went so seamlessly,” Neal added.
SemGroup maintains that many strategic, operational and financial considerations went into making the decision to transfer their employees to Tulsa.
“We are confident that this move will help us drive success into the future as we continue to focus on our values and commitments with an eye on increasing shareholder value,” said Conner.
“We are excited about our outlook for the future and the opportunity to continue building a very special workplace in Tulsa,” he continued.
