It all started with a handshake.
In 1967, long-time friends Jim Slaughter and Bill Brookshire invested their life savings to start an engineering firm in Houston, Texas. The founders had very different personalities, experiences and skills, but one trait they shared was unwavering integrity. This set the tone for S&B and remains our foundation today.
From that two-man operation, S&B has become a respected EPC firm consistently entrusted to deliver large-scale capital projects across an array of critical industries. We’ve come a long way since that handshake, but the spirit it sparked remains.
Charging into the future.
S&B has come far since its founding. Working with our customers, investing in our people and sticking to our values has delivered us resources and a depth of expertise to take on some of the largest, most complex and challenging capital projects in the world.
Our customers’ needs continue to evolve but managing complexity and delivering with certainty are constants. We are more than ready to deliver for you.
