Mr. and Mrs. Dunman Perry Sr. established Perry Equipment Company, in 1936. (Picture of Mr. & Mrs. Perry Sr.) The city was Lubbock Texas where the oil and gas markets were booming. Mr. Perry Sr. was the first to bring his innovative by-pass lube oil filtration system to the oil patch of West Texas.

In 1949 the company incorporated and moved its corporate headquarters to Mineral Wells Texas (Picture of Mineral Wells Facility) where Dunman Perry Jr. took over as President in 1951. During Dunman Perry Jr.'s tenure as President, he continued to develop innovative engineered filtration solutions for the oil and gas markets and began to expand the company’s scope globally, specifically in Canada and Europe. In the 60’s & 70's, international representation was established. (Picture of Dad on World Globe) Perry Equipment Corporation became known simply as PECO, a name synonimus with quality innovative products in the markets served. In the 70’s and 80's, the company made several acquisitions to expand its manufacturing base. It continued to expand its sales presence in the UK, Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

The "Next Generation" took the reigns in the early 90’s when Laine Perry was promoted to President in 1996. (Picture of Laine in front of PECO logo) She continues to follow the principals used by her Grandfather and Father to grow the business. "From 1936 until today PECO has grown by providing innovative engineered solutions, often times patented, to solve its customers problems. It has continually grown its market share by expanding in global and emerging markets. PECO has always operated as an extended family team, giving it a dedicated and talented staff that excel against the competition."

The 90’s also saw the rise of the "Next Generation" to the Board of Directors. Laine’s sisters Leigh and Doris and their husbands have been part of the team for the last decade. (Picture of three sisters) To preserve and grow the good PECO name and the "innovative engineered solutions" legacy is everyone's goal at the PECO extended family.
