Houston Manufacturing Specialty Co., Inc. was established in 1974 out of the conviction that customers for gaskets, gasketing materials, related products and services would welcome a higher level of service than they had previously experienced. We knew that we faced competition from large companies and the advantages that go along with size, years in the business and established buying habits.\r\n\r\nWe were confident that customers valued performance in solving problems over tradition.\r\n\r\nOur commitment to service has proven successful. HMS continues to grow and expand business, adding machinery, skilled workers, and inventory while keeping customer service and unique problem-solving capabilities our top priority.\r\n\r\nWe begin each day with the understanding that if we are going to continue to grow, it will be a direct result of our ability to provide customers with the level of service they require:\r\n - that we deliver top-quality products when we promise them\r\n - that we have on hand whatever materials are needed\r\n - that we price them competitively\r\n - and that we keep the reflex capability to work with customers during emergencies
