What OEM Components does

OEM Components is a Houston-based custom manufacturer of specialty sealing systems and precision machined components for the oil and gas industry. Founded in 1973 by Dave Morvant (still Chairman), the company operates from a 49,000 sq.ft. North Houston facility equipped with 72 compression molding presses, two rubber extruders, in-house mold preparation, rubber-to-metal bonding capabilities, and a physical testing lab. Its product portfolio centers on proprietary seal technology built around patented ECNER wire mesh sealing methods and an Anti-Extrusion Backup System, with branded lines including the Ecner Array (qualified to 15,000 psi / 450°F), Soft Set Seals (to 625°F), Dual-Pac Seals (bi-directional), M-Pac Seals (22,000 psi / 1,400°F for blowout preventers and pop-off valves), Premium Seal Assemblies, and a set of oil field seals (bonded seals, liner wiper plugs, frac elements, dual completion elements, liner hanger elements). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company also offers turnkey manufacturing services delivering sub-assemblies and complete assemblies to customer specifications.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting original equipment manufacturers and oilfield operators across surface and subsurface drilling, completion, well intervention, wellbore cleanup, production, and enhanced oil recovery applications. Distribution is primarily North America / USA, with a Global Sales Manager function suggesting intent to develop international accounts. The company operates under an ISO 9001 quality system and emphasizes on-time delivery and conformance to customer documentation requirements.

OEM is a privately held, founder-controlled business with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries. The leadership team of four executives (Chairman Morvant, President Christian Scholler, EVP Ray McIntosh, Global Sales Manager Danny Allen) collectively brings decades of oilfield manufacturing, quality systems (Six Sigma Black Belt), and technical training experience (German journeyman certification). No funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or recent leadership changes are disclosed; no AI/ML capabilities, app presence, or API integrations are evident. Revenue is not disclosed and the company tracks 70+ employees per its website, while third-party firmographics data suggests a 101-250 range.
