Atlas Has Landed in Houston: The Century Old Industrial Powerhouse Expands Field Machining Operations to Texas
LOUISVILLE, KY – May 9, 2025 – “Houston, we have a solution.” Atlas Machine & Supply, Inc.—a 117-year-old, family-owned industrial services company based in Louisville, Kentucky—is making a bold move into Texas. On June 1, 2025, the company will officially open a new Field Machining operation in Houston, marking a major step forward in Atlas’s continued national growth.
With this expansion, Atlas is bringing its on-site machining expertise to one of the most dynamic industrial hubs in the country. Houston’s strength in energy, refining, petrochemicals, and manufacturing makes it an ideal location for Atlas’s specialized field services—designed to minimize downtime, eliminate unnecessary equipment transport, and restore critical systems where they stand.
“Everything’s bigger in Texas—including this move,” said Harold Morgan, President of Machining & Repair. “We’re planting the Atlas flag in Houston and bringing the full force of our field capabilities with us. This isn’t just about growth—it’s about being exactly where our customers need us most.”
Field Machining—Right Where It’s Needed
Atlas’s Field Services Department, part of its Machining & Repair Division, provides heavy-duty, precision machining services directly at customer sites. Whether it’s flange facing, line boring, or machining a large journal in-place, Atlas delivers shop-quality results without disassembly, transport, or extended downtime.
The Houston operation will be fully equipped with industry-leading portable machining tools from CLIMAX—widely recognized for their durability and accuracy in the field. Combined with Atlas’s experienced crews, these tools enable fast, precise, and dependable machining on even the most complex jobs.
“When a critical piece of equipment goes down, time is everything,” added Morgan. “Our field crews are trained to respond fast, set up quickly, and execute with precision. That’s where we shine.”
