ENGINEERING FOR A MORE COMPLEX WORLD
In today’s industrial environment, complexity is no longer the exception, it is the standard. Projects are larger, timelines tighter, regulatory frameworks more rigorous, and expectations around safety, sustainability, and efficiency higher than ever before. It is within this demanding landscape that Saulsbury Industries has carved out a reputation as a trusted leader in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC).
Specialising in energy and industrial infrastructure, Saulsbury operates at the intersection of technical precision and large-scale execution delivering projects that power economies, connect supply chains, and enable energy transition.
Founded by C.R. Dick Saulsbury as an electrical services contractor, Saulsbury Industries quickly set up a reputation for integrity, reliability, and high-quality execution. Building on this foundation, the company expanded in 1980 with the launch of Saul-

con, its dedicated construction division positioning itself as the only organisation in the Permian Basin at the time capable of delivering a fully integrated suite of services, spanning general construction, engineering, and electrical and instrumentation.
Recognising the need to evolve alongside a rapidly changing industrial landscape, the Saulsbury family took a further strategic step in the mid-1990s with the creation of Saulsbury Engineering and Construction. This move marked a deliberate shift toward becoming a diversified, full-service provider capable of supporting complex, multi-industry projects.
In 2012, these complementary entities were unified under a single banner to form Saulsbury Industries creating a streamlined organisation with the scale, capability, and integration needed to
compete at the highest level of the energy and industrial sectors.
Today, the company serves a broad client base across upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas, as well as other heavy industrial markets. Despite its growth and evolution, Saulsbury continues to be guided by the core values instilled by its founder delivering projects with integrity, technical excellence, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Matt Saulsbury was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Saulsbury Industries in February 2023, bringing with him deep-rooted industry ability and a lifetime of experience shaped in the heart of Texas’ energy sector.
Having played an integral role in the company’s operations for more than three decades including serving as Vice President of Project Ser-
vices Matt has a rare combination of institutional knowledge, technical understanding, and leadership continuity. His long-standing tenure uniquely positions him to guide the organisation through its next phase of growth and transformation.
“Over my 30-year tenure at Saulsbury, I’ve witnessed a dramatic transformation in North America’s oil and gas industry, largely driven by technological advancements such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing,” he reflects.
Today, Matt’s leadership is defined by a forward-looking vision grounded in the company’s founding principles. His experience, strategic perspective, and commitment to operational excellence continue to drive Saulsbury’s enduring ethos delivering complex projects with precision and, above all, getting the job done right.
AN EPC MODEL BUILT FOR EXECUTION
Saulsbury’s strength lies in its fully integrated EPC model, which brings engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services under one operational framework. This end-to-end capability allows the company to manage complexity from concept through commissioning, reducing risk, improving coordination, and ensuring consistent delivery.
From gas processing facilities and pipeline systems to renewable energy infrastructure and petrochemical plants, Saulsbury’s project portfo -
lio reflects both breadth and depth. Each project demands a high degree of technical ability, often involving multi-disciplinary teams, advanced fabrication techniques, and strict adherence to regulatory and environmental standards.
Evolving regulatory frameworks at both federal and state levels have accelerated the industry’s shift away from traditional fossil fuel dependency, requiring operators to implement increasingly rigorous compliance strategies. These measures are designed not only to minimise environmental impact, but also to enhance air quality standards and safeguard critical water resources.
At the same time, market volatility continues to present challenges, driven by global supply chain disruptions and fluctuating demand patterns.
“Industry challenges remain persistent, particularly oil price volatility influenced by global supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical developments, and broader economic cycles,” explains Matt Saulsbury.
Against this backdrop of ongoing uncertainty, many oil and gas companies are strengthening partnerships with experienced EPC providers such as Saulsbury Industries to ensure the successful delivery of complex projects and strategic aims.
By using a fast-track, design-build approach, Saulsbury enables clients to reduce costs while optimising project timelines, an advantage underpinned by the company’s ability to make decisive, prompt interventions and adapt swiftly to shifting industry conditions.
“Our core values of safety, integrity, excellence, relationships, and community guide every aspect of our operations,” he adds, reinforcing the principles that continue to define the company’s approach in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
The company’s approach is rooted in execution certainty and a focus on delivering projects on time, on budget, and to specification, even in the most challenging environments.
REINFORCING AMERICA’S OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE
At a time when energy security, infrastructure resilience, and operational efficiency have never been more critical, Saulsbury Industries is playing a pivotal role in strengthening the backbone of the United States’ oil and gas sector. Through a combination of engineering precision, integrated project delivery, and deep regional ability, the company continues to support the development of critical infrastructure across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
without compromising quality or safety. This agility has become a defining advantage particularly in key production hubs such as Texas and the Permian Basin, where speed to market is often a decisive factor.
“OUR CORE VALUES OF SATEFY, INTEGRITY, EXCELLENCE AND COMMUNITY GUIDE EVERY ASPECT OF OUR OPERATIONS”
Central to Saulsbury’s strategy is its ability to execute complex projects at scale while keeping schedule certainty and cost discipline. In an environment shaped by volatile commodity prices, tightening regulations, and shifting demand dynamics, the company’s fast-track, design-build model enables clients to accelerate timelines
Equally important is Saulsbury’s commitment to technical excellence. From large-scale processing facilities and pipeline infrastructure to compression stations and electrical systems, the company delivers fully integrated solutions that align engineering, procurement, and construction under a single, cohesive framework. This approach reduces project complexity, enhances coordination, and ensures that critical assets are delivered with maximum efficiency and reliability.
Under the leadership of Matt Saulsbury, the company is also navigating the broader transformation of the energy sector. While traditional oil and gas stays a cornerstone of national
energy supply, there is increasing emphasis on sustainability, emissions reduction, and operational transparency. Saulsbury is responding by embedding environmental considerations into its project delivery supporting clients in meeting evolving regulatory requirements while supporting performance and profitability.
Strategic partnerships further underpin this approach. By collaborating closely with operators, technology providers, and local stakeholders, Saulsbury ensures that each project is not only technically sound but also aligned with the long-term needs of the communities and regions it serves. This collaborative model strengthens trust, enhances project outcomes, and reinforces the company’s reputation as a dependable EPC partner.
Ultimately, Saulsbury’s role in bolstering the nation’s oil and gas strategy extends beyond construction. It is about enabling the infrastructure that powers industries, supports economic growth, and ensures energy reliability across the country. With decades of experience, a deeply embedded culture of excellence, and a forward-looking leadership team, the company is well positioned to remain at the forefront of America’s evolving energy landscape.
