Industrial projects are growing more complex.
Turnarounds, shutdowns and maintenance demand specialized equipment, rapid deployment and technical expertise with zero tolerance for downtime. To meet these challenges, Sunstate has centralized its industrial capabilities into a single hub: Specialty Texas, in Friendswood. "By centralizing in Friendswood, we can deliver faster, more reliable industrial equipment services to our Gulf Coast customers and Sunstate branches nationwide," said Sunstate Equipment's District Manager Jay Cothern.
Centralized capabilities for complex projects
The Friendswood location houses a large inventory of pumps, power, HVAC and small tooling, supported by product specialists and technicians who are experts in industrial equipment and the critical, multifaceted demands of these jobsites. The inventory includes high-volume portable pumps from 4 to 12 inches, big power generators from 100 to 500 kW, HVAC systems from 5 to 40 tons and a full suite of industrial small tools.
Sunstate's new Specialty Texas (STX) location in Friendswood has a new fleet of pump, power and HVAC systems ready to support customers nationwide.
"Our high-capacity pumps are engineered specifically for Sunstate, delivering more production with less fuel," added Cothern. "Combined with 24/7 delivery, service and turnkey installation of pump, power and HVAC systems, we're built to meet complex project demands with speed and precision."
Focused support across Texas and the Gulf
Unlike traditional Sunstate branches, the Friendswood location is not a walk-in facility. It was purpose-built to serve industrial project needs. From petrochemical plants and advanced manufacturing facilities to municipal construction and maintenance initiatives, the team supports complex operations across the Gulf Coast. Centralizing operations streamlines logistics and mobilization while giving customers direct access to specialized equipment and technical expertise. The result: reliable performance in high-stakes environments, including turnarounds, shutdowns, outages and hurricane risk management. "From deploying equipment for turnarounds to providing pump, power and HVAC packages for hurricane risk, Friendswood enables us to provide specialty solutions across the full spectrum of industries in the Gulf region," said Cothern. "Our team ensures the right equipment is on site, exactly when it's needed." With over 110 locations coast to coast, Sunstate Equipment has built its reputation on delivering dependable rental solutions backed by responsive service and a people-first approach. Sunstate's industrial growth builds on a strong regional foundation, with over 33 locations spanning Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The evolution of the Friendswood hub strengthens that footprint,centralizing specialty expertise while enhancing support for industrial customers throughout the Gulf region.
STX also stocks a large inventory of small tooling for industrial projects.
