About KENCO

Kenco Engineering Company’s main facility is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kenco also has a sales and warehousing facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which serves its customer base in the state of Louisiana.

Kenco was founded by Kenneth N. Mills, one of the first registered professional engineers in the state of Texas. He graduated from Rice University in 1933 and in the next few years derived many of the mathematical formulas used universally in petroleum equipment sizing. His work in the design of heavy oil field equipment brought him to Tulsa where he was the Chief Engineer for an oil equipment manufacturer. During World War II, he served as the plant manager in a munitions plant. After the war, he continued to work in the oilfield equipment industry in a sales capacity. His frustration with trying to assure quality in the equipment he sold led him to “build it himself.” Kenco was born.

Kenco’s level of success since its inception is a testament to Mr. Mills’ dedication to quality. Kenco’s mission is to provide products that conform to our customer’s requirements and deliver them on time at a competitive price. Kenco’s name represents quality to our vendors, ourselves, and our valued customers. Quality improvement is the most important job of every Kenco employee.

Mr. Mills ran the company until his death in 1976. The company continues to be run by members of Mr. Mills’ immediate family. Since his death, the company has continued to grow and introduce new products. Kenco will soon be celebrating its 50th anniversary and its priorities have not changed. Kenco’s standard of excellence and commitment to quality engineering assures our customers of dependable equipment. We intend to maintain this tradition for the next 50 years.
