About SIMFLO

In 1941, Clarence Simmons opened a machine shop in the small West Texas town of Sundown. He provided machining services to the general public and for the booming oil and gas industry. However, he knew he could grow well beyond his humble beginnings.

In 1953, Simmons hired Raymond Pickering, a visionary and entrepreneur who shared  Simmons’s dream of transforming a small machine shop into a premier manufacturer. Pickering knew, however, expansion could only be maintained through exceptional products—a sentiment which laid the framework for SIMFLO’s quality assurance procedures still in practice today.
