Our History 

  We were founded in 1920. When we began, we were located in a sail loft on the historical strand in Galveston. What we did at that time was make sails and hatch covers for ships. As well as house awnings. A few years down the road, we expanded by opening a location on Harrisburg Blvd in Houston, Tx. We operated out of both locations for several years.

​

  During WWII we were a major part of the war effort, and we were declared an essential industry. We made covers for merchant ships that carried war supplies to Europe. About mid WWII the sail loft burned down. It was then that we consolidated to one location.

  Shortly after WW II ended, we moved away from the shipping and house awning industry to making covers for oilfield equipment. We have mostly gravitated in that field since. Around 2007 we moved from our location in Harrisburg to a location in Conroe, Tx.

​

13 years later, with the coronavirus' effect on the economy, and no end in sight, we moved the company to our home to consolidate expenses. Also worth noting, we have stayed open throughout the whole of 2020 as an essential industry (for the second time) because of our work with the oil field. 

​

   We are currently working on re-expanding our interest in other fields.
