Exosent Engineering

What Exosent Engineering does

Exosent Engineering, LLC is a Texas-based manufacturer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) transport equipment and custom pressure vessels, founded in 2010 and headquartered in College Station with production operations in Navasota, TX. The company designs and manufactures MC-331 cargo tank trailers, bobtail delivery tanks, stationary storage vessels, portable Porta Pak units, and Gooseneck trailers, all differentiated by a patented low center-of-gravity tank architecture that the company claims reduces rollover risk by approximately 30% and, when combined with a patented aerodynamic air foil, delivers up to 20% better fuel economy versus conventional designs. Engineering relies on in-house Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), supported by a proprietary robotic sub-arc welding system designed for non-concentric cylinder construction.

The business model is overwhelmingly one-time capital equipment sales (custom trailer and tank units priced on a quote basis) supplemented by an online parts store (ExoParts) selling OEM and compatible replacement components, and a tank inspection/repair/refurbishment service line. The go-to-market is sales-led with strong CEO involvement (UV Doron) and event-driven through active participation in major propane and tank truck industry tradeshows (NPGA, NTTC, TPGA, Eastern Energy Expo, Western Propane Trade Show, COHMED, OPIS). Customers are primarily propane transport fleet operators, local and regional propane distributors (bobtail operators), and propane storage/utility buyers across the US and Canada. Multiple ASME (U2/U/T), NBBPVI (R Mobile), and DOT certifications, plus granted and pending patents, create a defensible regulatory and IP position. A partnership with PT Risk Management, one of the largest US propane insurance agencies, offers Exosent customers insurance premium reductions, embedding the product into fleet operator total cost of ownership.
