Jett Weld
A Legacy of Quality Pressure Vessels Since 1975
History of Jett
In the heart of Houston’s petrochemical hub, Jett Weld Inc. has stood tall for over 4 decades. Founded in 1975 by industry veteran Glenn R. Selldin, Jett Weld has built an unwavering reputation for crafting high-quality pressure vessels, steam drums, columns, and more.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader:
Mr. Selldin’s deep understanding of the industry, honed at Thermal Engineering and Electro Welding, fueled Jett Weld’s initial spark. Starting in a 4,000 sq. ft. shop, the company quickly gained trust with engineering firms and chemical plants. A landmark order for 9 steam drums in 1976 cemented Jett Weld’s position as a reliable supplier.
Growth Fueled by Innovation and Partnerships:
Jett Weld’s commitment to quality and innovation attracted major clients like Ortloff Corporation, placing orders for diverse projects, from small vessels to sulfur design specialties. By 1982, the company had outgrown its space and moved to its current 50,000 sq. ft. facility, demonstrating its steady expansion.
Adapting to Industry Tides:
Even amidst industry downturns, Jett Weld’s dedication to customer service and strategic reinvestments kept it afloat. The “chemical plant boom” of the late 80s saw further expansion, and the 90s brought ventures into EPA projects for major oil companies.
Navigating the 21st Century:
The millennium brought its challenges, but Jett Weld remained resilient. The industry surged through the first decade, encountering a slight downturn in the latter years and spilling into the early part of the second decade. Jett Weld’s unwavering commitment to continuous improvement in production and equipment continues to this day, driving the company towards an even brighter future throughout the rest of the 2020s and beyond.
