Summary
A global leader in gaskets, fasteners and hoses, Lamons reflects on past successes and pledges continued innovation and support for critical energy sectors in the future.
A global leader in gaskets, fasteners, and hoses, Lamons pledges continued innovation and support for energy sectors. Founded in 1947 by W.A. Lamons, the company began providing quality gaskets to the Oil and Gas and Petrochemical industries. It acquired Richard Gasket Company in 1985 and Packing & Gasket Engineering (PAGE) in 1988. Lamons then purchased Industrial Bolt and Gasket in Beaumont, Texas in 1997.
In 2010, Lamons acquired South Texas Bolt and Fitting, which catapulted the company into being one of the most capable specialty fastener manufacturers in the world. IsoTek was purchased in 2012 and added isolation gaskets, sleeves, and washers to the product portfolio. With the addition of hoses in 2016, Lamons fulfilled its vision of leading global markets in safety sealing and attachment solutions. In 2019, Lamons became part of the First Reserve family, a leading global private equity investment firm exclusively focused on energy.

"We are extremely proud to reach this milestone – 75 years of innovation in safety sealing and attachment solutions," said Marc A. Roberts, CEO of Lamons. "Creating a world-class engineering team, investing in long-standing relationships, and never losing sight of the possibilities that tomorrow would bring are the significant reasons we are standing here today."
"A pivotal point in our success came when we decided to create a one-stop experience for our customers," added Kris Beezley, VP of Strategic Business Development. "Rather than only producing gaskets, we expanded our product offerings to include standard and specialty fasteners and hose assembly, which enabled us to provide total solutions for our customers."
Throughout the past seven-and-a-half decades, the company has prided itself on continual improvement and innovation to better serve its customers and industries. A cornerstone in achieving this has been its philosophy of superior global customer support with branch offices in North America, Europe, and Asia that provide quality products with faster service and on-time delivery.
