What Conner Industries does

Conner Industries is a family-owned heavy industrial construction contractor headquartered in Borger, Texas, founded in 1952 as Conner Machine & Welding and rebranded under its current name in 1994. The company delivers vertically integrated services across four phases — Plan & Design (AutoCAD drafting, total station coordinate layouts, estimating, scheduling), Procure & Build (structural steel construction, modular installation, civil site preparation, concrete, plant and field piping, hydrovac/excavation), Operate & Maintain (shutdowns, turnarounds, outages, ongoing plant maintenance), and Specialty Services (ASME code welding, pressure vessel manufacturing, scaffolding, heavy haul, demolition, hydro testing). Two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Lonestar Crane & Rigging and Canadian River Sand & Gravel — extend capabilities into lifting/hauling and aggregate supply, supporting a 125+ professional employee operation with over 1,000 completed projects and 1M+ safe hours worked.

The company serves six verticals: Agriculture (biodiesel/ethanol plants), Technology (AI and data centers), Industrial Facilities (fertilizer plants, refineries, specialty chemical plants, carbon black), Defense (nuclear weapons facilities, military bases), Renewable Energy (solar, wind, direct air carbon capture, methane recovery), and Commercial (healthcare, telecommunications). Notable disclosed customers include 280 Earth (a Google subsidiary) for a direct air carbon capture pilot in Oregon, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for fire remediation in New Mexico, and an unnamed regional refinery for an oily solids filtration system in Texas.

Conner Industries monetizes through custom-quoted, project-based contracts with industrial operators, government agencies, and emerging technology companies. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per project based on scope, complexity, labor, materials, equipment, and timeline. The company holds ASME U, R, and PP Stamp certifications and is prequalified across multiple third-party safety verification platforms (Veriforce, ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, DISA, First Verify, Avetta, Compass), with a U.S. Department of Labor-Registered Apprenticeship Program delivered in partnership with Associated Builders and Contractors. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales anchored in the Texas Panhandle, with opportunistic out-of-state project execution as capabilities allow.
