For two generations, the Laborde family has been a major player in the offshore oil and gas industry. In 1998, Tracy Laborde bought the company, formerly known as Star Power Services, which at the time was primarily a distributor of Yanmar engines. Under his leadership and with his extensive experience in the commercial marine industry, Laborde expanded, crediting its deal with Mitsubishi as a lan
dmark in company history. After a year of discussions and a trip to Japan, Mitsubishi agreed to a long-term commitment with Laborde and a stable, mutually-beneficial relationship was born. Laborde Products now carries Mitsubishi, Yanmar, Hatz, FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) and Steyr Motors engines for the marine and industrial markets. Laborde also builds stand-alone products including diesel pumps and generators under its own brand, Diesel America and offers an array of other related equipment and accessories. Providing the best service and products has allowed Laborde Products to develop strong ties and long-term relationships with its customers. We've accomplished so much in the past 16 years and we look forward to what we'll achieve in the next decade.
