At South Coast Products (SOCO), we have a 50-year history as the top plug valve grease distributor in Texas. We’re based out of a factory in Houston, a state-of-the-art facility where we proudly make our products. It’s been a long evolution over the past 50 years, from a company that started with a single machine and a dream to a worldwide force in this industry. Our founder, so innovative he was often called the Mad Chemist, would be proud to see how we have grown as a company.
For you as a consumer, this growth and development is also invaluable. It has led us to create plug valve sealants that go beyond what you’re going to get anywhere else. It has helped us create a global distribution network so that you can get fast, accurate shipping at any location on the planet. It has pushed us to keep innovating and making the next generation of plug valve lubricants that set the standard in this industry. All of this means that you get better products, better prices and a better experience than is possible with the competition, and you’ll see the difference the first time you place an order with SOCO.
