The Lubbock Facility

After an extensive search for the best-fit location for their new facility, Taco Hydroflo Pump Solutions made the Hub City home for its manufacturing operations.

“Lubbock has a rich history of supporting manufacturing operations strongly rooted in the local economy. The Lubbock economy is prospering and has world-class infrastructure, an affordable cost of living and a friendly business tax environment. The proximity to Texas Tech, Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering and Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources were key drivers in our decision-making process regarding our future workforce development plans. Access to highly skilled engineers, program managers and all aspects of agricultural students will play a significant role in our company’s future successes. Lubbock and the surrounding area are home to a high concentration of our current and potential customers, along with current and potential suppliers.”

Taco says its company values and culture align with the Lubbock and West Texas culture in numerous ways. The most important thing is that people come first!

“Relationships are paramount at Taco. Whether you are an employee, customer, business partner or community member, you will be treated with kindness, integrity and mutual respect by our team. The same can be said about Lubbock and the welcoming, friendly nature West Texans exuberate. The people are our favorite thing about Lubbock. The locals here are super nice, super friendly, extremely helpful, hard-working and honest folks. The educational opportunities, food and music stand out among the community as well.”

One of Taco’s core values is to support the communities that support their people and company.  

“Staying true to the local community and supporting those who support us, we must give back by operating sustainably, purchasing locally whenever possible and supporting local non-profit work. Success and growth are important not only to our company but to our surroundings as well. We will always strive to provide a secure, stable livelihood for our employees and their families and opportunities for growth.”
