Company Overview // Experience and values

History
In 2005, President James “Butch” Ray and Vice President Paul Stutes turned a collective professional vision into reality. Their desire to truly impact the subsea industry led to the formation of Stella Maris, a company based in Lafayette, Louisiana, dedicated to the designing and building of safe, user-friendly hydraulic power and control systems. Stella Maris has targeted its expertise specifically to the subsea industry and specializes in these design and manufacturing services, in addition to flushing and subsea component plumbing services.

Experience and Values
Stella Maris only aligns itself with the best. We employ personnel who are enthusiastic about discovering and implementing the newest in customizable features to our already proven systems. Our engineers view each client’s needs as a technical challenge and our project managers understand the importance of finishing each project in a timely fashion. We use components from only the most trusted vendors and rigorously test every piece of equipment.

Other companies are capable of providing subsea hydraulic power, chemical injection systems and control systems as part of their services. But Stella Maris’ decision to cater exclusively to this segment of the industry means our engineers’ energy and knowhow are consistently focused on improving our existing, proven system designs. We gauge our performance based on your results. We deliver complete control through systems and services that bring your business to the next level and increase your bottom line. Stella Maris wants to help you innovate.
