How It Began
Packard International, Inc. began as a garage machine shop outside Houston in rural Montgomery County in 1975, incorporating in 1983. Packard has been producing its branded line of Drill Stem Safety Valves for over 30 years.
Since the acquisition of OMSCO in 2004, Packard has expanded its business ten-fold, and leads the industry globally in the most demanding markets, and the harshest drilling conditions.
Packard Today
Now an established designer and manufacturer, Packard supplies the industry with Top Drive Valves, Kelly Valves, Internal Blowout Preventers (IBOP), Drop-in Check Valves (DICV), and F-type cup testers, and more.
We are also innovators, creating new products and partnering with industry technology leaders to improve drilling efficiency, reach new depths, and reduce downtime.
With our ultra-precise machining capabilities, Packard provides specialized machining services for top drive components, drill string subs, and a variety of drilling equipment at our 20,000 sq ft facility, still in rural Conroe.
Packard will coordinate third-party certifications including ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and DNV (Det Norske Veritas) per customer requirements.
Packard Growth
Packard has expanded with a new facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This new location manufactures and services valves, providing local support and IKTVA for our KSA customers.
