Company Spotlight

Founded in 1978, Northern States Fishing Tools was built to solve problems in the Williston Basin — and we’ve been doing exactly that for decades. What started in a small shop with three men and a clear vision has grown into a trusted name in downhole fishing and packer solutions, driven by performance, precision, and results.

Today, under new ownership, we continue to push forward with expanded capabilities and a team committed to raising the standard. From Fishing and Rental Tools to Packers, Plugs, and Through Tubing Equipment, we deliver reliable equipment and field-ready expertise designed to minimize downtime and keep operations moving.

In an industry where time is critical and performance matters, we respond with urgency, experience, and accountability. Our customers rely on us not just for tools, but for solutions — backed by knowledgeable crews, responsive service, and a commitment to getting the job done right the first time.

Northern States Fishing Tools isn’t just part of the industry — we’re built for it.
