Process Manufacturing

What Process Manufacturing does

Process Manufacturing is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based vertically integrated original equipment manufacturer and remanufacturer serving primarily the oil and gas industry, with secondary exposure to federal defense, carbon capture, and data center infrastructure. Founded in 1975 by Frank Chrisco as a 4-employee machine shop, the company has grown to 150+ employees operating across approximately 250,000 square feet of manufacturing space on a 25-acre, 7-building campus. It manufactures and remanufactures pressure pumping and mixing equipment, ASME-stamped pressure vessels (U, S, R), process piping, modular refinery systems, thermal oxidizers, water bath heaters, and custom electrical control consoles, holding Tier 1 OEM status with the world's largest well servicing company and U.S. Department of Defense supplier recognition (CAGE CODE: 3GQ14).

The company's core capabilities span five in-house service lines: fabrication and machining (125,000 sq ft with CNC, robotic MIG welding, high-definition laser/plasma cutting), blasting and painting (~40,000 sq ft with temperature, humidity, and vacuum-controlled environments), final assembly (40,000 sq ft with 5-15 ton overhead cranes and an electrical clean room for PLC-integrated control consoles), hydrostatic high-pressure testing in an 8' x 16' x 8' tank, and repair and remanufacturing of cementers, blenders, hydration units, and high-volume frac lines. Precision is validated by a Keyence Coordinate Measurement Machine providing accuracy to .0001 inches over 48 feet against 3D CAD models. The company is privately held by JCS6 Holdings following Chris Schutte's October 2017 acquisition from the founder.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based, quote-driven custom manufacturing and remanufacturing with no recurring subscription or licensing streams. Customers are predominantly enterprise (Tier 1 oilfield service companies, midstream operators, upstream producers, the U.S. DoD, and emerging carbon capture and data center buyers), engaged via direct enterprise sales through the company website (processmfg.com) and phone (918.445.0909), with SEO targeting regional Tulsa/Oklahoma fabrication search terms as the primary top-of-funnel motion. Pricing is fully bespoke, with no public rate card, and the company operates as a direct-to-OEM manufacturer without intermediary distribution channels.
