Lincoln Manufacturing

What Lincoln Manufacturing does

Lincoln Manufacturing, LLC (LMI) is a U.S.-based manufacturer and service provider specializing in Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), with operations spanning more than 30 years. The company manufactures API, Semi-Premium, and Premium threaded couplings, performs full-length pipe threading, and produces downhole accessories including pup joints, marker joints, crossovers, and packers. Headquartered in Magnolia, Texas, Lincoln operates additional production sites in Houston (Polk Street) and Strasburg, Ohio, the latter providing direct rail access to the Utica Shale and Canadian markets. The combined footprint comprises 71 CNC machines, 11 production threading lines, and more than 70 acres of pipe storage, enabling high-volume precision manufacturing for North American oil and gas customers.

The company's technical platform is built around CNC machining of coupling stock and automated threading lines, including an M-710 robotic material handling system. Lincoln is licensed to manufacture under proprietary connection technologies owned by Tenaris (TXP, Wedge 441/461/561/563), VAM, Hunting (DWC/C, CDC, Freedom HTQ), Atlas Bradford (DQX, QX, BPN), NOV Grant Prideco (BTX, SUPERMAX, GEOCONN), Premium Connections LLC (QB1/QB2), Ultra, and ArcelorMittal. Inspection capabilities include electromagnetic inspection up to 13 3/8 inch OD, Special End Area (SEA) wet bath inspection, hydrostatic testing, and full-length drift inspection. The company holds API Q1, API 5CT, API 5L, and API Spec 7 certifications and operates under an ISO 9001-audited quality management system targeting six-sigma process quality.

Lincoln's revenue model is industrial B2B contract manufacturing and threading services sold on a quote basis to enterprise customers across three primary segments: Tier I OCTG mills, oilfield service companies, and distributors serving the upstream oil and gas market. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontier Tubular Solutions Holdings, LLC since 2022, with a sister company (Permian Enterprises, acquired 2019) extending inspection and corrosion-control capabilities into the Permian Basin. Distribution relies on direct enterprise field sales supplemented by digital presence; no public pricing, revenue, or backlog disclosure is available.
