Lamons

What Lamons does

Lamons is a Houston-headquartered industrial manufacturer and distributor specializing in custom gaskets, fasteners, hoses, expansion joints, and flange accessories, founded in 1947 and operating across more than 20 global manufacturing and distribution sites. The company is privately held under the legal entity LGC US Asset Holdings, LLC and is backed by private equity firm First Reserve. Its product portfolio spans metallic, semi-metallic, and non-metallic gaskets (including proprietary platforms such as CorruKamm, Kammpro, SpiraSeal, H2Lock, CorrLock, XTG, Defender, Isoguard, IsoKamm), flexible metal and chemical hoses, expansion joints, standard and specialty fasteners, and a coating services line that includes the NanoGalv zinc-nickel plating technology licensed in with the 2024 acquisition of ModuHouston (now ModuCoatings). Lamons holds ISO 9001, ISO 17025, multiple API specifications (6A, 17D, 20E, 20F, 6FB), and NSF 61 and 20F certifications, supporting oil & gas, subsea, pharmaceutical, and drinking water applications.

The company serves enterprise customers across oil & gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), chemical processing, hydrogen, renewable energy, power generation, EPC, manufacturing, metals & mining, automotive, marine, and water & wastewater sectors. Named enterprise customers include Marathon, Exxon, Phillips 66, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Flowserve, Georgia Pacific, and Flotech. Lamons runs a sales-led, direct field-sales go-to-market model with 24/7 will-call response, on-site technical support, vendor-managed inventory (VMI), consigned on-site inventories, the Drawings Online cloud repository, and a private customer intranet for ordering and tracking. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, and revenue is generated across four streams: (1) custom gasket, seal, and fastener manufacturing, (2) custom engineered solutions including the TruFAST reverse engineering service, (3) coating and treatment services, and (4) training and field support services.

The current strategy reflects a First Reserve-backed buy-and-build: two acquisitions were completed in 2024 — ModuCoatings in May (coating technology and NanoGalv license) and Auge Industrial Fasteners in July (fastener vertical integration) — alongside new product launches targeting hydrogen service (H2Lock, CorrLock) and extreme temperatures (XTG). No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
