McCarty Equipment

What McCarty Equipment does

McCarty Equipment Co., Ltd. is a value-added industrial distributor and fabricator headquartered in Abilene, Texas, operating 17 branch locations across North America (spanning Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania). Founded in 1976 by R.L. McCarty and operating as a subsidiary of SunSource, the company distributes industrial hose, hydraulic hose, metal hose, fluid-sealing gaskets, couplings and adapters, fittings, fasteners, valves, expansion joints, power-transmission products, industrial textiles, and power tools from brands including Continental, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ridgid, Makita, Flexitallic, Garlock, and WL Gore. Beyond pure distribution, McCarty fabricates custom gaskets using ATOM Flashcut Flex 3015 knife cutters and performs mobile hose testing up to 40,000 psi, with a proprietary asset-management platform (McCarty Equipment Co. Tracker) that uses RFID tagging to track hose and gasket status, location, test schedules, certifications, and history. The company also operates a vendor-managed inventory program with dedicated on-site technicians and a turnaround-management service for industrial plant shutdowns.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware distribution (product sales of hose, fittings, gaskets, valves, tools), professional services (custom gasket fabrication, hose assembly and kitting, hose bundling, tool and industrial-component repair, mobile testing), and managed services (VMI, asset management, turnaround management). Pricing is quote-based with publicly undisclosed rates; multi-year contracts with preferred pricing and volume discounts are offered under a National Account Support Program aimed at large multi-location enterprise customers. Vertical segmentation is broad — oil & gas is the primary segment, with additional served industries including power generation, utilities, pulp & paper, chemical, agriculture, OEM, rental & construction, transportation, food processing, marine, pharmaceutical, primary metals, and mining — distributed through an enterprise field-sales motion carried out by branch-based account managers and VMI technicians. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds Continental ContiTech STAR Distributor status. In 2025, McCarty added a Data Center Liquid Cooling product line, extending its product surface into hyperscale and AI data center cooling applications.
