About Kirksey Machine Company
Exceptional customer service since 1976
Our History
Founded in 1976 by Mr. Clarence Kirksey, Kirksey Machine Company was born out of a need for quick solutions and rapid product turnaround for customers in the Gulf Coast area. With many years of experience in the valve business, Mr. Kirksey established the company on the solid principles of hard work, honesty, and integrity—values that continue to guide us today.
Our Growth
Initially located at 3517 Pinemont, Kirksey Machine started in a modest 1,800 square feet space focused on machining fittings and flanges. By 1985, we had expanded our services to include trim changes and other internal valve modifications for the refining, chemical, and petrochemical plants in the Gulf Coast area. Our growth continued through several expansions in 1990, 1993, 1997, and 2004, reaching over 25,000 square feet by 2011.
In 2015, we moved to our current location at 8721 Clay Road, increasing our facility size to over 45,000 square feet. This new space, equipped with 10 overhead cranes ranging from 1 ton to 10 tons, allowed us to add more machinery, welding equipment, testing equipment, and personnel, enhancing our ability to provide fast, quality service to our customers.
