History

In 2002, Lufkin Industries, Inc. celebrated a full century of service to its customers around the world, an auspicious milestone for a company that began as a small machine shop in Lufkin, Texas.

While Lufkin Foundry manufactured railroad and sawmill equipment during the early 20th century, the company expanded into new markets by pioneering Oilfield pumping units in the 1920's, and entering the industrial gear and truck trailer markets in 1939. Over the years, Lufkin has built a strong reputation as a quality manufacturer and full service provider in these markets.
