The Saulsbury Story

In 1961, Dick and Amelia Saulsbury left their South Arkansas home to join the booming oil industry of West Texas. After a number of years working as an electrician and eventually starting an electrical construction company with two partners, Dick decided to branch out on his own and started Saulsbury Electric Company in 1967 in Odessa, Texas.

Armed with a solid foundation of core values and an exceptional work ethic, Dick led Saulsbury Electric to become the foremost electrical contractor in the Permian Basin. His commitment to being the best in the industry drove him to deliver safe and high-quality projects for clients across the nation. From the beginning, Dick’s ceaseless dedication to hard work helped shape his reputation of integrity, excellence, and getting the job done right.

While the business continued to grow, Dick’s entrepreneurial spirit drove him to expand his services and establish Saulcon General Construction in 1980. The creation of Saulcon and subsequent partnership with Saulsbury Electric made this new powerhouse the only organization in the Permian Basin to offer turnkey construction services that included civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical and instrumentation.

The organization grew at a breakneck pace over the next decade. When the market shifted towards more engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects in the ‘90s, Dick and his team adapted and added Saulsbury Engineering in 1994. At that point, Saulsbury was a full-service EPC firm that supported engineering and construction projects for oil and gas, as well as other industries.

Over the next 25 years, Saulsbury grew by taking on larger projects, adding additional services, entering new markets, and opening new offices across the country. In 2012, the three companies merged to form Saulsbury Industries.

From Saulsbury’s humble beginnings over 53 years ago with Dick and his one employee, our organization has evolved into a premier nationwide EPC company with peak manpower of 5,000 employees. The cornerstone of our success remains Dick’s simple philosophy of doing the right thing and adhering to our five core values: safety, integrity, excellence, relationships, and community. Today the Saulsbury Team serves as stewards of his legacy, ready to continue exceeding expectations and elevating quality project delivery for another 50 years.
