What Con Tech International does

Con-Tech International is a privately held, family-owned B2B global parts supplier and contract-manufacturing intermediary founded in 1983 and headquartered in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. The company connects North American industrial buyers with ISO-certified manufacturers in China, Taiwan, and India, managing the full custom-part lifecycle from RFQ intake and supplier qualification through production, quality control, import logistics, and just-in-time delivery. Its customer base spans petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, consumer products, agriculture, marine, and industrial-packaging end markets, with named enterprise customers including ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, CITGO, Dow, DuPont, AstraZeneca, Procter & Gamble, Volvo, John Deere, Valvoline, Mauser, and Chicago Steel.

The product and service portfolio is built around four service pillars — Custom Manufacturing, Global Parts Sourcing, Just-In-Time Delivery, and Supply Chain Management — supported by an asset-light operating model. Underlying capabilities include metal stamping, casting, machining, fabricating, finishing, injection molding, cold forming, and forging. Standard and proprietary branded product lines span marine hardware (strainers, cleats, thru-hulls, hinges in stainless steel/brass/bronze), precision components (including beer keg necks supplied to nearly 100% of the US market since 1996), and an extensive catalog of plastic, steel, stainless steel, reconditioned, poly-tank, IBC/tote tank, and small-container drum closures and accessories. The FreezePro™ proprietary sub-brand adds drum insulation jackets, tote-tank protection systems, and Ranco ETC temperature controllers. Exclusive Americas distribution rights for the Tite-Seal™ brand from Technocraft Industries (India) anchor the drum-closure line.

Go-to-market is sales-led and quote-driven: customers submit specifications through a structured RFQ process and receive customized quotes, with secondary e-commerce purchasing available for standard catalog items. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by President and CEO Barbara Evans, with Robbie Evans serving as Vice President of Small Container Closures, reflecting the family-ownership structure. Con-Tech is privately financed with no institutional investment, operates as a going concern, and has not disclosed revenue, funding history, or M&A activity.
