Kdr Supply

KDR Supply was founded in 1981 by Edwin (Ed) M. Fisher to support the local oilfield service industry. Starting out, KDR supplied such things as swab cups to the swab trucks as well as other items to the work-over rigs operating in the Liberty area. Successful, Ed worked the business part time for the first few years with the hopes of eventually re... tiring from his full time job at Southland Paper Co. and spending more time in building KDR. d realized this dream in 1988 when he retired from St Regis Paper Company (formerly Southland Paper) and began concentrating on KDR Supply full time.
