Gentex Industries

At GenTex Industries Inc. we specialize in building heating and pumping equipment, but have the ability to do much, much more!

GenTex Industries Inc. has evolved into a fully integrated company providing 4 key components, engineering, manufacturing, service and supply. We have expanded our scope of products and projects we take on and this diversification has generated over 30% of sales outside the Oil & Gas Industry.

GenTex roots date back many decades, with experience in design, manufacture and operation of heating and pumping equipment. GenTex origins stem back to a service company called General Hot Oil & Chemical Cleaning Ltd. which started back in the 1960’s and also from a company GenTex purchased, called TEXSTEAM Inc. with their roots dating back before the 1950’s.

General Hot Oil & Chemical Cleaning Ltd. , based out of Central Alberta, was started by Wesley Cupples in 1968. Wesley owned and operated the company for 20 years before Garett Cupples, Wesley’s son, purchased his first truck from Wesley in 1988. Garett had purchased the rest of General’s fleet over a 7 year period (last truck was purchased in 1995), and then ran under the name General Hot Oil & Pressure Service.

After having worked many years in the oil & gas industry and building several hot oil units for his service company, Garett saw the need for safer, economical and reliable hot oiling equipment designed with the operator in mind. With these three concepts, Garett set out to start a manufacturing company calling it General Hot Oilers Inc. , which offered these three crucial elements in 1997. A few years later in 2002, General Hot Oilers Inc. acquired the TEXSTEAM Heating Division from Dresser Flow Control in Houston, Texas, inheriting the most efficient direct diesel fired technology. Garett’s service company, which was called General Hot Oil & Pressure Service was sold in 2002 and GenTex Oilfield Manufacturing Inc. was created. Today, GenTex remains committed to providing its customers with the most efficient, ergonomic and safe hot oil, heating and pressure units in the world.

GenTex currently manufactures the best of its kind in high output oilfield heaters and holds the record for manufacturing the world’s largest trailer mounted hot oil unit for the Alaskan oilfield. GenTex has come a long way since the early days, but we do not forget to celebrate our history. GenTex specializes in the design, fabrication and servicing of truck, trailer and skid mounted oilfield equipment for upstream and downstream processes and applications.

GenTex has exports into 20 countries across 5 continents and with our new name we look forward to new opportunities and we are ready to take on any and all challenges!
