Company History
Young Oil Tools was founded in January 1983 in Fairfax, OK. Shortly thereafter, YOT purchased the Wheatley-Shepherd
Valve Co. of Tulsa, OK and relocated the operation to Fairfax. At that time, the product line consisted of a few threaded
valves and a few flanged valves. In the following years, the focus was on filling in the holes in the existing product
lines and adding new product lines including the wafer check and inline check valve offerings.
In a continuing effort to broaden its product line, Young Oil Tools purchased Remco Manufacturing of Wichita Falls, TX in July
of 2004. Remco Manufacturing produces pipe repair clamps, chemical injection pumps, meter repair kits, and tank patches and
plugs. Remco Manufacturing has a solid reputation for quality and customer service and like Young Oil Tools, offers a broad
product line.
After the purchase of Remco, it became clear that the Fairfax facility would no longer be large enough to meet the needs of
the two companies. In June of 2005, Young Oil Tools purchased a 27,000 square foot facility in Cushing, OK and relocated the
Fairfax operations to Cushing shortly thereafter. This facility will enable YOT to continue to grow while modernizing its
manufacturing processes.
