Houston Manufacturing Specialty Co., Inc. was established in 1974 out of the conviction that customers for gaskets, gasketing materials, related products and services would welcome a higher level of service than they had previously experienced. We knew that we faced competition from larger companies. However, our dedication to our clients and our willingness to adapt quickly to meet their special requirements has been the basis for a very successful and service focused business. We were confident that what these customers wanted was not tradition, but performance. Our clients appreciate that when they have an emergency, we have an emergency. All too often, these needs were not met, largely because it was not “company policy”. Whether it’s an emergency or a more routine situation in which prompt delivery of out of stock items was required, we exceeded the response that our larger competitors deliver.
