    HOUSTON, March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MRC Global Inc. (NYSE:MRC) announced that it has entered into a joint venture with Frisbie Measurement Services, LLC (FMS) forming IMTEC Services, a provider of integrated smart meter technical services to the gas utilities sector. IMTEC Services is applying for its certification as a woman-owned business with the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

    IMTEC Services is a centralized meter center that will integrate meter and electronic meter reading capabilities while maintaining quality and safety. With IMTEC Services, customers will be able to enjoy shorter lead times, resilience against market disruptions, a commitment to regulatory compliance and high-quality meters delivered with precision.
