Tex-Isle, Inc.

Starting in the late 2000s, Tex-Isle started a vertical integration process to position itself as the most competitive distributor of steel pipe and tube. Since initiated, Tex-Isle has brought in house the most critical value-added services associated with the OCTG and Line Pipe Industries. Spreading across two facilities in South Texas, Tex-Isle offers internal and external pipe coating as well as heat treatment, inspection, and threading of steel tubulars. With the opening of a new electronic resistance welding (ERW) tubular mill, Tex-Isle will complete the transformation from a distributor into a manufacturer, as well as formally open our product lines to the standard and structural pipe markets. By offering a full suite of products and services Tex-Isle offers a unique value proposition to our customers. Since 1959, Tex-Isle has brought a dedication to service that has provided a foundation to survive in the ultra-competitive steel industry. As we have grown from a distributor into a manufacturer, we have not lost this mentality. Our past guides our future. The investments over the past decade represent our belief in and commitment to American manufacturing.
