FHG

What FHG does

FHG, Inc. (operating as FHG, "For His Glory") is a privately held, Charlotte, North Carolina-based energy construction company founded in 1982 by Jim Wright following the 1970s energy crisis. The firm specializes in mechanical construction and maintenance services for the energy industry, organized around four service divisions: Storage Tank construction and repair under API 650 and 653 standards; Pipeline Facilities and Terminal Piping across truck and marine terminals and greenfield/brownfield sites; Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) infrastructure for agricultural, landfill, wastewater, and organic waste projects; and Hydrogen fueling station construction. Projects are delivered by self-performing mechanical crews and seasoned project managers from inception through commissioning, targeting enterprise energy operators.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven construction services sold directly to enterprise energy, midstream, utility, and renewable-fuel clients. Revenue is generated through one-off construction contracts rather than recurring SaaS or product licensing, and pricing is not publicly disclosed; FHG leverages compliance status on procurement platforms (ISNetworld, Veriforce, Avetta) and industry associations (ILTA, CGA, DPI, NCCER, NISTM) to remain pre-qualified with large buyers. Customer logos span integrated majors (Shell, Citgo, Marathon, Motiva, Phillips 66, Murphy Oil), midstream/logistics operators (Kinder Morgan, Colonial Pipeline, Energy Transfer, Magellan, Buckeye, PBF Logistics, Williams, Ergon, Zenith, Texon, Vecenergy, US Energy, Westech), utilities (Piedmont Natural Gas, Greenville Utilities), and clean-fuel players (Plug Power, Vanguard Renewables, QuikTrip), with operational licensure across 34 states.

Operationally, FHG operates four service divisions under a leadership team led by CEO Ben Wright and President Dan Wray, with Ben Wilson as COO and dedicated division managers for Major Projects, Pipeline Facilities & Terminal Piping, and Tanks. The company reports a 2024 safety record of 100K+ exposure hours with a 0.0 TRIR under its FHG 360 safety program, a key qualifying credential for enterprise buyers. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional or private-equity backing and no public revenue, funding, or backlog figures.
