One shop, start to finish
Why everything stays under our roof.
Machining, gear cutting, heat treat, babbitt pouring, and assembly all happen in the same Houston shop. Nothing gets handed to a third party between steps, which is how we hold tolerances, control turnaround, and stand behind the work.
In house
No outsourcing
Teardown through final inspection happens here. Your unit is never passed to an outside shop, so quality and schedule stay in our hands.
20+ years
Proven on heavy equipment
For over two decades Houston plants have trusted us across oil and gas, mining, power, paper, and steel.
Any size
Heavy units welcome
Free pickup, crating, and rigging on the big reducers, rolls, and pumps, even units in the thousands of pounds.
How every job runs
The same path from your dock to ours and back.
No matter which service you need, every repair follows the same disciplined path from the moment your equipment arrives to the day it ships back ready to run.
01
Free pickup and inspection
We pick up, crate, and rig your unit, then inspect it free of charge. You see the real condition and a clear scope before any work begins.
02
Quote and approval
You get a written quote, often the same day. Once you approve it, your unit goes straight onto the floor.
03
Machine, cut, pour, rebuild
Whether it is a gearbox, a poured bearing, or a pump, the right shop capability rebuilds it to size or better.
04
Final inspection and up to a 24 month warranty
Every dimension is checked, then the unit ships back free of charge. Completed work carries an up to 24 month workmanship warranty.
Who we keep running
Built for the plants of the Texas Gulf Coast.
Our services keep the heavy rotating and cutting equipment running for industry across Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the wider Texas Gulf Coast.
Oil, Gas & Petrochemical
Compressor and pump drives, extruder and process gearboxes, and poured bearings for refineries and chemical plants. See more on the industries page.
Mining, Steel & Paper
Heavy reducers, draw blocks, rolls, and shear blades remachined and rebuilt for the toughest production lines.
Power, Marine & Manufacturing
Turbine and gearbox bearings, crane wheels, hydraulic cylinders, and screws and barrels for power, marine, and plastics.

Questions, answered
What plants ask before they pick a service.

How much can a rebuild save versus buying new from the OEM?
A complete overhaul can save up to 50 percent versus the OEM purchase price, and a rebuilt unit comes back to size or better. Because we machine, cut gears, pour bearings, and assemble under one roof, there is no markup from passing the work to a third party shop.

We run a 24 hour emergency line at 832 270 2009. Call any hour and we get your unit into the shop for a rush turnaround, days instead of weeks when downtime is the thing that matters most. Routine quotes go to our main line at 713 270 6000.
