Edouard welcomes MATCOR to its new Houston Office

Tropical Storm Edouard was threatening Gulf Coast energy infrastructure as it approached land this past week, and it finally touched ground yesterday morning just after our Houston office spent the weekend moving into a new office space in Katy, TX. I’m glad we were able to relocate and beat the storm, and that our staff are all safe.

We opened our Houston office in 2002 with just one person working from home. Since then, MATCOR’s Houston office has been our staging ground for global energy projects, and we grew to serve some of the largest energy interests in the world. Over the last few years, we moved to an office space outside of Houston, expanded our project portfolio and added over a dozen engineers, technicians, project administrators and technical sales professionals. Our pipeline and energy infrastructure business grew more than 500%, and we now have thousands of pipeline miles to walk every year and hundreds of storage tanks to protect.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that we’ve seen this kind of growth. Oil and gas are the most treasured commodities in the world right now, and energy companies like Exxon Mobil are realizing record profits. So, with energy companies looking to drive further growth and command the global economy by protecting every line mile, every drop of oil, every cubic meter of gas and every inch of a storage facility, MATCOR has forged a strong position in the corrosion protection market.

Our new facility, which is 8,100 sq. ft., gives us a lot more space for welcoming our customers, accommodating a larger staff, conducting product demonstrations, and adding warehousing for the systems we manufacture at our headquarters. The Houston team will be more agile and responsive, and we’re excited about bringing clients to the new, state-of-the-art facility.

Not sure if we’re going to decorate with gigantic palm trees like we did in the Doylestown, PA headquarters, but this new office has all the space we’ll need for a Texas sized hoe-down. You can contact MATCOR's Gulf Coast office at the same phone number, but our new address is as follows:

MATCOR, Inc.
20302 Park Row Drive
Suite 100
Katy, TX 77449
(281) 558-2600
