The Mur-Tex company began its operations in 1962 with an entry into the marine industry by introducing to the market the first Mur-Tex speed boat. After manufacturing some 600 boats in the 1960's, Mr. Murphy decided to diversify into the newly forming fiberglass tank market. As Mur-Tex forged away at product development and marketing of its fiberglass tanks, the company enjoyed a reputation as a pioneer and quality manufacturer of composite vessels. Now, some 35 years since its first fiberglass tank, Mur-Tex remains an industry leader.

In 1994, Mur-Tex was acquired by Taylor D. Fyfe. Taylor received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas and a Masters in Business Administration from Southwest Texas State University. Following a seven year career as a program manager/engineer for a pair of prime government Defense contractors, Taylor felt he had the skill necessary to acquire and grow a small manufacturing company. Mur-Tex was a perfect fit. In fact, Mur-Tex revenues tripled after just two years of hard work.

Taylor joins a team of seasoned veterans in the fiberglass industry. At last count in 2002, the cumulative years of fiberglass tank manufacturing experience contained within the walls of Mur-Tex was 253 years! .
