What Lone Star does

Lone Star Corporation is a privately held, family-owned electrical construction and maintenance services provider founded in 2009 in Odessa, Texas by Ronnie Hobbs, now led by his son Landon Hobbs as President/CEO since June 2022. The company operates as a one-source electrical contractor offering seven integrated service lines: electrical construction and instrumentation for oil and gas, electrical maintenance, powerline services, automation services, panel fabrication and rack solutions, utility services, and storm & restoration services. Customers are primarily enterprise industrial clients including major oil and gas companies (XTO Energy is a featured client partner), engineering/procurement/construction firms, municipalities, water treatment facilities, mining operations, renewable energy projects, and utility companies across the United States.

The underlying technology is fundamentally trade-skilled electrical work rather than software: design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of industrial electrical and control systems; overhead power distribution design and construction; custom control panel fabrication; and 24/7 emergency response. A proprietary 365-ZERO Safety Program and a state-of-the-art in-house safety training center in Odessa underpin the company's positioning, alongside an extensive contractor prequalification ecosystem (Veriforce, Avetta, ISN, PEC Premier, GoldShovel, and others) required to access enterprise oil & gas and utility work.

The business model is project-based industrial services with quote-based pricing and one-time project revenue per engagement across the seven service lines. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting heavy industrial buyers, supplemented by organic social media presence for top-of-funnel awareness. Lone Star is geographically anchored in the Permian Basin with operations across Texas and New Mexico, plus nationwide deployment capability through its storm and restoration services. The company employs 251-500 people, has no disclosed outside institutional investors, and no public revenue disclosure — though the founder's prior firm (Pyramid Corporation) reached $55MM+ revenue at a similar headcount, providing a rough scale proxy.
