Committed to innovation since its inception, Oil States Industries, Inc. has a rich history that began in 1942 as a supplier of rubber components for Texas' oil patch producers. A clutch/brake product line soon followed, and today Oil States ElastaFlex® clutches are staples in the marine, mining, paper, and logging industries.In the 1950's, Oil States expanded on its rubber expertise by pioneering and developing the first flexible load bearings for bridges - the first use of a laminated bearing in a structural application. This laminated bearing technology was the foundation for the FlexJoint® product line used today in drilling, production, mooring, and structural applications around the globe.
