What UPS Industrial Services does

UPS Industrial Services, LLC is a privately held, integrated industrial specialty services contractor headquartered in Deer Park, Texas. Founded around 2013 by a team of field-experienced operators (including Perry "Junebug" Lopez, Jim Stapleton, Bubba Jackson, Jack O'Brien, Scott Jones, and Dwayne Collins), the company has grown to 2,600+ craft employees delivering professional services across construction, maintenance, and turnaround execution for industrial facility owners. UPS operates a portfolio of 15 service lines — Mechanical & Heat Exchangers, Specialty Tower Services, Piping & Specialty Welding, Instrumentation & Electrical, Fabrication Shop Services, Tank Solutions, EPC, Crane & Rigging, Automated Welding, Engineered Solutions, Technical Bolting, Rope Access, Turnaround Services, Capital Construction, and Maintenance Services — supported by ASME/NBIC-certified fabrication capacity exceeding 57,000 square feet in Deer Park and Corpus Christi, a company-owned crane fleet capable of 600-ton lifts, and 3D CAD lift planning.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts across four primary streams — Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC); Maintenance; Turnaround; and Crane & Rigging — with all revenue classified as professional services. Pricing is determined per-project based on scope, complexity, and duration, and contracts are structured on a multi-year basis. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales: dedicated business development teams conduct site walkthroughs and project consultations with industrial buyers, with no channel partners or resellers. The go-to-market targets ten verticals, with Refining, Chemical, Petrochemical, and Advanced Manufacturing & Technology as primary segments, and Fertilizer, LNG, Midstream, Offshore & Onshore, Power Generation, and Renewables as secondary segments.

UPS reports 3,500+ completed projects, a 98% client retention rate, and a 20+ year operating track record serving industrial clients across the United States and Canada. Geographic presence centers on Texas facilities (Deer Park HQ, Pasadena welder testing, Vidor/Golden Triangle, Corpus Christi fabrication), with newer offices in Bakersfield (CA), Tulsa (OK), and Carson (CA) — the latter operated under a distinct sub-brand, UPS Industrial of California. Leadership is led by President Jeremy Grace, with the founding team continuing in operational roles, suggesting founder/management ownership with no disclosed institutional investor or parent entity.
