What Oilquip does

Oilquip Inc. is a family-owned, full-line fluid power distributor and custom system integrator headquartered in Lake Charles, Louisiana, founded in 1960 by Richard Yoder. The company specializes in hydraulics, pneumatics, oil conditioning, and engineered system integration, serving industrial enterprise customers across oil & gas, power generation, wood products, paper/packaging, and general manufacturing verticals. It operates three Louisiana offices (Lake Charles HQ, Baton Rouge, Shreveport) and a 30,000-square-foot fabrication facility supporting in-house mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering.

The company's product and service portfolio spans five lines: (1) distribution of hydraulic and pneumatic components from premier brands including Moog, Oilgear, PTI, MTS Sensors/Temposonics, Numatics, C.C.Jensen, HyPro, Atos, Atten2, and Stucchi; (2) custom system integration including PLC/HMI automation and bespoke hydraulic power units; (3) power generation valve and actuator services, anchored by authorized-integrator status with Moog (one of only three globally); (4) full-service warrantied rebuilds and repairs on cylinders, actuators, pumps, motors, and valves; and (5) fluid conditioning equipment rentals (vacuum dehydrators, varnish removal, flushing skids). Notable proprietary capabilities include DNV 2.7-1 and UL Class 1 Division 2-certified drilling equipment, custom actuator upgrades for steam extraction and governing valves, and a proprietary proportional valve tester.

Oilquip operates a sales-led, direct field sales model with factory-trained staff collaborating closely with customer engineering teams on sizing, selection, and cross-referencing of components. Revenue is generated through four streams — hardware distribution markup, custom engineering services, repair and overhaul services, and rental/managed services — all priced on a quote basis per project scope. Customers include Exxon, International Paper, SLB, National Oilwell Varco, Goodyear, Boise Cascade, Georgia Pacific, Formosa Plastics, Cemex, and others, served through a password-protected customer portal organized by industry vertical. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds or parent company disclosed.
