MOGAS Industries was formed in May 1973 when Louis Mogas
purchased a small machine shop in Houston. He soon acquired the
rights to service and manufacture ball valves from Cameron Iron
Works. Under Louis' leadership, the Company studied valve failures
and established an R&D department that customized valves for
specific applications. Since 2000, MOGAS has established sales and
service offices in Australia, China, Europe, Canada, South America,
Middle East and India.
Early on, Louis Mogas introduced business behaviors that became
the foundation of the Company's core values--everyone is the CEO of
something, make work fun, do what's right--to name a few. His
belief that work can be fun and honorable, and that there is one
team at MOGAS drive the Company's business principles today.
While Louis received many Company awards, including The Inc. 500
Fastest Growing Private Companies, multiple Best Companies to Work
For in Texas, vendor excellence, Texas Family Large Business of the
Year Finalist, and Best Quality Product, he was most proud of his
and his family's philanthropy, and of employee fund raising and
volunteerism contributions. These include Ronald McDonald House
Houston, The Periwinkle Foundation, Camp for All, National Multiple
Sclerosis Association, and several Houston district schools. In
2017 Louis Mogas was honored as a distinguished alumni at Texas
A&M University, Kingsville for the creation of the Mogas Family
Perseverance Scholarship Endowment. MOGAS Industries also awards
scholarships and educational grants to employees and their
children, and mentors summer hire interns.
The family of Louis Mogas, the MOGAS Executive Leadership Team
and our employees worldwide are mourning the loss of a tremendous
man whose leadership was only matched by his passion and fervor for
life and serving others. We all carry the lessons that Louis shared
with us in our hearts and we will continue to share his legacy to
the world through our work and in our lives.
"Always live out your values in your work, so that when you
drive home at the end of each day, you can feel proud of yourself."
Louis Mogas
