It all started in 1972 when the young Anthony Zagorski (Tony), who served in the US Navy as a pilot from 1965 to 1969, left a stock broker job and moved south, bought a small pipe insulation shop called Rilco in Clute, Texas to start his business endeavor.
Since day one, Tony’s philosophy has always been “keep the cost low but don’t compromise quality and safety“. Those were the reasons that helped Rilco earned a pipe support insulation contract in Australia in 1981.
In late 1980’s, Tony’s two sons Ken and Brett, upon graduating from college, joined Rilco to help run the continued growing business. With the idea of “one-stop-shop” for clients, Tony and his sons expanded Rilco’s product lines to include structural supports, Variable and Constant spring hangers. This expansion required Rilco to look a for larger manufacturing facility. In early 1997, Tony moved Rilco 100 miles north into a brand-new corporate office and much bigger manufacturing space in Houston,
In 2016, with sales volume increased coupled with the addition of Rilco Cam Roller and Arogel insulation to the Rilco product lines, the manufacturing space was no longer adequate. Tony, once again, was forced to relocate Rilco to a brand-new and much larger facility. This time, it was only a mile away and still is Rilco’s current address.
Rilco Manufacturing Company has been among the leaders in the development of a wide variety of pipe supports and components since 1972. For over 50 years, our engineers have traveled all over the world helping clients evaluate pipe support systems. These opportunities allow us to design custom systems that are guaranteed to perform under the most extreme field conditions. They have also been instrumental in placing Rilco Manufacturing as a globally recognized, first-in-class provider of premier pipe support products and components.
The leadership at Rilco Manufacturing has enabled growth through additions, expansions, and continuous diversification of product lines. Some of the Quality Assured state-of-the-art products offered by Rilco include:
