ABOUT MURTEX
 

You may ask yourself why you should choose The Mur-Tex Company and we'd love to give you a few reasons. First and foremost, our products are made right here in the USA!  Our manufacturing plant is located in Amarillo, Texas, USA.

For over forty-seven years, Mur-Tex has been a pioneer in the fiberglass tank industry manufacturing quality, innovative fiberglass tanks in accordance with a variety of commercial and military specifications. By using both hand-lay-up (ASTM D 4097) and filament winding (ASTM D 3299) methods, Mur-Tex has the production system in place to manufacture a consistently uniform, quality, extra strong fiberglass tank for any industry. Each tank is custom engineered and designed for its particular application.

Over 253 years of combined experience make Mur-Tex one of the largest and most successful fiberglass fabricators in the United States. A degreed engineering staff, AutoCAD workstations, automated processing equipment and a complex quality control system assure our ability to meet the demands of each and every customer. Each tank is custom designed for its particular application utilizing premium resins without fillers.

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 40 years since its first fiberglass tank, Mur-Tex remains an industry leader.

Mur-Tex was acquired in 1994 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 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 and Mur-Tex was the perfect fit!  Since that date in 1994, Mur-Tex has grown some 400% and enjoys residing amongst the most sophisticated fiberglass fabricators in the country. In 2008, Taylor diversified the Mur-Tex talent pool by adding partners Madison Scott and Shonn Blassingame.
