Location

Located in the beautiful Bosque Valley of Central Texas, the Gearench manufacturing facilities are located about one mile south of Clifton Texas on State Highway 6.

History

Gearench was founded in Houston, Texas in 1927 as Gearench Manufacturing Company, by J.A. Peterson and C.E. "Pat" Olsen. The first patented product, the "Gearench," was a hand tool for use on small diameter pipe. From this original tool, the company has grown and developed over 40 product lines for use in various areas of the oil industry including exploration, drilling, production, refining and completion. Tools have also been developed for water well and trenchless technology drilling, as well as mining, power generation utilities, and general industrial markets.

In October of 1978, Chester Posey purchased Gearench, including facilities in Houston and Clifton, Texas. Since that time, Gearench has grown from a school building (the old Clifton College) to a 55,000+ sq. ft. production facility.

In March of 1997, Gearench purchased Puremco, Inc.    Puremco, established in 1954 in Waco, Texas, produces dominoes and related games. Please click here for more information.
