BOLSTERING THE NATION’S OIL AND GAS
In the early 2000s, Saulsbury experienced a period of significant growth as shale development took off in the region, allowing it to support the industry with natural gas cryogenic processing facilities, power generation infrastructure, turbine and reciprocating compression facilities, and various gathering and production assets.
“Despite industry downturns, including the 2008 financial crisis, we remained disciplined and resilient,” Matt recalls.
The 2010s saw the US emerge as a dominant oil and gas producer and, by 2018, it regained its status as the world’s largest oil and natural gas supplier.
At the time, Saulsbury was executing major projects across the Permian, Midland, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Haynesville, Barnett, Niobrara, Anadarko-Woodford, and Utica Basins, further bolstering the nation’s impressive oil and gas footprint. Since then, the industry has faced
persistent challenges, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a particularly significant setback.
However, the company’s resilience and its commitment to retaining talent allowed it to recover from the aftermath of COVID-19 swiftly, returning to business as usual within a year.
Having said this, post-pandemic supply chain disruptions continue to be a challenge for Saulsbury –particularly where procuring critical equipment and electrical components is concerned.

Our strength lies in being locally focused and regionally capable. Most importantly, we work hand-in-hand with our customers to find customizable solutions. Whether it’s structuring custom rental packages, managing utilization data, or providing flexible terms on sales and trade-ins, we operate like a true business partner - not just another dealership.
4. Could you tell us about some of the major challenges faced within the industry and the business itself and then detail how these have been overcome?
One of the most persistent challenges in our industry has been the global shortage and delay of critical parts. Cisco has taken proactive steps to navigate this by building stronger relationships with OEMs, establishing
direct lines to critical components, and even pulling parts from our own fleet when necessary to keep customer equipment running. We’ve also expanded our collaboration with dealers outside of our core area, allowing us to source needed parts faster and support customers with minimal disruption.
Another key challenge has been the volatility of used equipment values, which can impact both our customers’ ability to trade or resell machines and our ability to structure long-term plans. Cisco addresses this by helping customers maintain strong residual value through preventative maintenance, proper utilization, and smart lifecycle planning. We offer tailored options for trade-ins and work closely with each client to transition them into a new fleet that better fits their evolving needs - often in ways that minimize cost while maximizing return on investment.
Rising interest rates have also created pressure for businesses that rely on financing. To ease that burden, we’ve centralized our retail finance efforts under a dedicated director, who works across multiple lenders to negotiate competitive rates by combining deal volume. This approach allows us to pass savings directly to our customers and structure more favorable financing operations - helping them continue to grow their operations even in a tighter financial climate.
5. What are your major future ambitions going forward and how will these goals be achieved?
Looking ahead, our primary ambition is to deepen our commitment to West Texas and expand our influence in the broader Texas equipment landscape through strategic partnerships, better technology, and a laser focus on customer uptime.

Our strong alignment with OEMs like JCB gives us the product support, warranty coverage, and inventory flexibility we need to stay competitive.
And by working with financial institutions like Comerica to explore refinancing and capital realignment, we’re positioning ourselves to make smart, long-term investments in our fleet and facilities.
6. Could you tell us more about any environmental or CSR initiatives that you have in place?
Cisco Equipment is proud of the role we play in supporting our communities and protecting the environment. On the environmental front, we operate a modern fleet that meets or exceeds Tier 4 final emissions standards and continually invest in newer, more fuel-efficient models. We also monitor machine idle time and promote emission-conscious practices for customers, helping them run greener job sites. All oils, filters, and fluids are recycled responsibly through trusted environmental vendors.
On the social side, Cisco is actively engaged in programs to support local trade schools, veterans’ programs to employ exiting military personnel with technical skills, and charitable initiatives with customer participation throughout West Texas.
7. What are you most proud of in relation to the company overall?
Above all, we’re proud of our people - the technicians, coordinators, sales professionals, and support staff who bring our commitment to life every day. Their dedication, expertise, and focus on doing the right thing for the customer is what keeps Cisco running at the highest level.

In a bid to further bolster its stellar safety culture, Saulsbury has implemented several proactive programs.
Engaging in the JSA Leader Program, for instance, transforms employees from passive participants to driven leaders in safety.
It helps them to plan work steps, identify hazards, implement mitigation strategies, and communicate these to all affected workers.
In addition, supervisor engagement sessions have provided those at management level with the opportunity to reflect on and improve their approach to safety.
“These forums provide supervisors with a space to discuss program changes, offer candid feedback, and explore ways to enhance their leadership in safety,” Matt outlines.
Saulsbury also encourages open and honest feedback at all levels of management, ensuring employees clearly understand expectations and feel empowered to contribute to the company’s safety policies and programs.
A reflection of Saulsbury’s core value of integrity, this transparency has fostered trust and alignment across the organization.
Elsewhere, continuous training and development has helped the company to analyze key indicators that highlight potential knowledge retention gaps among staff.
“We continuously refine our training programs to ensure employees, supervisors, and management receive relevant and up-to-date safety education,” he adds.
This feeds into Saulsbury’s mantra that safety is about more than just compliance, but a shared responsibility among employees, contractors, and stakeholders.
By adopting a culture of proactive engagement, continuous learning, and open communication, the company ensures that its workforce remains protected and empowered to maintain the highest standards.
“Our commitment to safety isn’t just reflected in policies and programs – it is ingrained in our everyday actions. Safety is one of Saulsbury’s core values and a defining pillar of our success,” Matt asserts.
COMMUNICATION IS KEY
Fostering engagement through communication and recognition, Saulsbury emphasizes employee satisfaction by promoting a
transparent and positive workplace culture.
A key initiative supporting this regime is SiteCast – a company-wide platform that keeps employees informed about the latest business updates, safety initiatives, and key developments.
Having launched in 2024, its cutting-edge visual communication capabilities have improved workforce connectivity across the organization, enhancing Saulsbury’s communication and safety awareness.
In addition, SiteCast’s ability to bridge language barriers and streamline the delivery of critical information has proven invaluable.

“SiteCast strengthens our safety culture through a number of features,” Matt sets out.
Safety alerts and announcements, for example, keep teams informed about potential hazards and preventative measures.
Weather-related notices provide real-time updates on conditions which may affect job sites, while positive recognition and good catches highlight the daily safety successes and major milestones of personnel.
“By showcasing employees who exemplify Saulsbury’s core safety values in action, SiteCast gives us the opportunity to celebrate their success.”
Project photos, meanwhile, offer a visual narrative of operational progress and complexity, and ‘Why I Work Safe’ videos feature employee insights into their commitment to safety.
Safety trivia quizzes with monthly winners engage employees in interactive safety education, while lifesaving rules and actions reinforce the company’s critical safety guidelines.
SiteCast also aligns with broader industry safety initiatives through national campaigns and reinforces Saulsbury’s hazard prevention efforts via departmental updates.
“While SiteCast is currently the gold standard in safety, we will continue to evolve the platform to meet the needs of our teams and projects,” he updates us.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY, MINIMUM DOWNTIME
As a company that takes pride in its ability to customize project execution and meet the unique needs of its clients, Saulsbury’s services are flexible and seek to accommodate all kinds of requirements.
It understands how each project can present distinct challenges, whether related to commercial commitments, complex technical requirements, geographic constraints, or other factors.
Helical piles are a premeditated innovation for this generation. Concrete, meanwhile, is as it sounds – firm, reliable, and has long been the go-to for curbs, light pole foundations, gas pumps, homes, and businesses.
But if you’ve ever owned assets, you know the panic that sets in when your concrete foundation starts splitting, cracking, or breaking. It’s doomsday – expensive, emotional, and exhausting.
This leads us to all ask the same thing: why isn’t there another way? There is, it’s Alterrus LLC (Alterrus).
While some companies jumped on the helical pile trend chasing profits, Alterrus was founded on something more enduring – a vision.
For Casey Palenshus, President and Owner of the company, this wasn’t about following a market wave, it was about solving a problem that plagued every industry. As a seasoned expert in structural solutions, he saw past the steel and torque, identifying an opportunity to build better, smarter, and safer.
Palenshus’ mission? To provide immaculate engineering, industry-leading product delivery, and uncompromising quality – all at a fair and honest price. He didn’t want to just support structures, he wanted to elevate industries.
Alterrus was formed for two clear reasons: integrity and service. We recognized not just the environmental edge of helical piles but the human aspect, as people deserve answers, reassurance, and a partner they can count on.
The Alterrus difference is our customer experience and that presence is felt in every call, on-site visit, and handshake.
Why did our team choose helical piles over other solutions? Easy – because anything that withstands the test of time is built on a solid foundation. Whether you’re a business owner, an oilfield operator, or a battery storage developer, we all can agree that strength and resilience begin at the base.
With helical piles, there are no cracks in the foundation.
Each pile is installed with surgical precision, real-time feedback, and to the exact depth and torque required, with engineering data confirming it can bear the designed load.
With no guessing or waiting, helical piles can also be loaded immediately, involving no curing, delays, or early-age concrete risk.
They are built to thrive in any soil – strong or weak, dry or saturated. Each pile is manufactured under strict quality standards, weld-checked, and tested. Our tech teams train for months or years before ever stepping on site. As such, we don’t cut corners, we anchor them.
Unlike concrete, which relies on on-site workmanship, weather, and other factors, our work is measurable, reliable, and futurefocused. This isn’t a trend, it’s a transformation.
At Alterrus, we don’t just install foundations, we build trust, elevate industries, and strengthen communities.
Because at the end of the day, our foundation is where your future begins.

The company’s approach therefore begins with in-depth planning and strategy sessions to identify the best path to success.
“Careful preparation and shared objectives are the key differentiators that drive project efficiency and minimize downtime,” Matt outlines.
By aligning its success metrics with those of its clients, Saulsbury continues to ensure reliable project execution.
Furthermore, by maximizing a project’s operational uptime, the company is able to deliver a strong and profitable return on investment (ROI) for stakeholders.
“Our reputation is built on providing solutions that enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and create long-term value for all,” he tells us.
SUPPORTING A BALANCED ENERGY STRATEGY
One project that demonstrates Saulsbury’s dedication to a comprehensive energy mix is the completion and commissioning of a large-scale water treatment plant designed to support a direct air capture (DAC) facility.
“Being part of initiatives like this is always inspiring as it allows us to contribute a broad range of energy solutions,” Matt enthuses.
Saulsbury often partners with major oil and gas clients who are integrating renewable energy solutions.
“Their dedication to innovation aligns with our mission to deliver highquality solutions that support both industry advancement and energy efficiency,” he points out.
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
On a mission to support clients with their expanding portfolio of projects, the company has significantly extended its presence in the renewable energy sector.
Its expertise in this area spans across multiple clean energy technologies, including utility-scale solar power, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and carbon capture facilities – some of the largest in the US.
“We also recently completed a major hydrogen production facility in Nevada, further strengthening our commitment to supporting a diverse mix of energy solutions,” Matt confirms.

CORE COMPANY VALUES
Assisting Saulsbury in ‘getting the job done right’, the company’s core values are central to everything it does, ensuring expectations continue to be exceeded time and time again. They comprise:
SAFETY – An overarching goal of safety is evident across all operations, with the company striving to send employees home safely to their families every day in the same condition they arrived at work. As such, safety among employees, clients, and partners remains the number one priority.
INTEGRITY – With honesty and accountability at the heart of everything Saulsbury says and does, consistently cultivating integrity means it always does the right thing.
EXCELLENCE – Providing only the highest level of quality and performance, the company’s unsurpassed value alongside its dedication to client satisfaction continue to guarantee excellence.
RELATIONSHIPS – Proudly creating positive, lasting partnerships with its clients, Saulsbury sets itself apart through long-standing relationships with both employees and stakeholders.
COMMUNITY – With a deep-seated belief in supporting the communities in which it lives and works, the company takes pride in its commitment to community success and sustainability.
Act (IRA), Saulsbury has established compliance programs to ensure that both the company and its clients are able to capitalize on the benefits of these regulations.
“In recognition of the increasing demand for renewable energy solutions, we have launched a dedicated Utilities and Infrastructure business line, with a primary focus on solar power, BESS, and substation project delivery across the US.”
Thus, by leveraging its deep industry expertise and commitment to innovation, the company is helping to shape the future of energy.
“We ensure long-term, multi-source solutions while meeting the evolving needs of the US energy market,” he clarifies.
PROJECT SOLUTIONS IN ALL SIZES
Through its Field Services division, Saulsbury supports small and midsized capital projects by offering a comprehensive range of construction services for in-field gathering systems, pipelines, tank batteries, wellhead hookups, field modifications, and facility construction and maintenance.
“By embedding ourselves within our clients’ operations, we create long-term stability and continuity, ensuring seamless execution across multiple projects,” Matt insights.
In establishing a predictable pipeline of work with specific clients, Saulsbury is able to manage the workload effectively by allocating key resources over extended periods, as opposed to sporadically deploying personnel.
“For our clients, this model provides highly productive teams that are familiar with their operations and aligned with their people and specific requirements,” he adds.
By integrating deep-seated expertise into client workflows, Saulsbury effectively reduces the daily support required on each project, improving overall efficiency and execution.
“EMBEDDED IN OUR CULTURE AS A FUNDAMENTAL OBLIGATION TO OUR EMPLOYEES, SAFETY IS SOMETHING WE LIVE AND BREATHE EVERY DAY. EVERY TEAM MEMBER IS THEIR BROTHER’S KEEPER, AND OUR COLLECTIVE DUTY IS TO ENSURE THAT EACH EMPLOYEE GOES HOME IN THE SAME –OR BETTER – CONDITION THAN WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT WORK”
– MATT SAULSBURY, CEO, SAULSBURY
The contracts it undertakes for this type of work vary but are typically structured around KPIs that measure its performance in critical areas.
“These KPIs ensure we meet or exceed expectations in schedule adherence, productivity, safety performance, cost control, and quality,” Matt assures.
Saulsbury’s dedicated project control teams are on hand to meticulously track these metrics, providing transparency and accountability to the company’s clients while demonstrating its dedication to operational excellence.
A WORKPLACE OF CHOICE
Committed to employee growth and engagement, Saulsbury seeks to actively build a workplace of choice.
A strong, family-oriented culture, alongside a set of core values, creates a supportive environment and contributes to staff feeling inherently valued.
“We believe in fostering a workplace where accountability, fair compensation, and personal development go hand in hand,” Matt sets out.
As such, team members feel empowered to build long-term careers with Saulsbury, with many having spanned decades.
“Employees are not just numbers to us – we take an active interest in their well-being, ensuring they feel protected, heard, and appreciated.”
Striving to enhance the quality of life of those that work at the company, Saulsbury’s commitment to employee empowerment extends beyond business operations.
The company invests in the future of its employees and their families through scholarship and education support, including the Dick and Amelia Saulsbury Scholarship Program.
Administered by Scholarship America, the program was established to assist the children of Saulsbury employees who plan to continue their studies into higher education, such as in college or vocational school programs.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to education by providing financial assistance to employees’ children, helping them to pursue their academic goals,” Matt reflects.
Likewise, the company supports staff who are in active pursuit of higher education, reinforcing its belief in the next generation of leaders while strengthening the skill set of its current workforce.
Committed to promoting from within, Saulsbury’s career advancement and internal mobility initiatives offer employees opportunities to progress across departments.
In the past two years alone, it has successfully transitioned employees into new roles within accounting, supply chain, operations, and HSE, allowing top performers to broaden their expertise and contribute to the business in new ways.
“This internal mobility is complemented by ongoing professional development, including both internal and external training programs, to prepare employees for future leadership roles,” Matt explains.
As such, Saulsbury continues to build a workplace that supports career development by investing in its employee growth, fostering a culture of transparency, and reinforcing its overarching commitment to education and community.
“Our people are the foundation of our success, and we remain dedicated to providing the resources, opportunities, and recognition they deserve,” he divulges.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
Beyond the workplace, Saulsbury is deeply engaged in the communities in which its employees live and work.
Through charitable contributions, volunteer initiatives, and corporate partnerships, it provides opportunities for everyone across the organization to make a meaningful impact beyond their day-to-day roles.
Community engagement is therefore not just a priority for Saulsbury, but part of who the company is.
Saulsbury was involved in the repair of the spring-fed pool at Balmorhea State Park (BSP) in West Texas – a long-held favorite leisure site among local residents.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Dick and his wife Amelia left their home in South Arkansas in 1961 to join the booming oil industry in West Texas.
Having worked as an electrician for his own electrical construction company for a number of years, Dick segued into EPC when he established Saulsbury Electric Co. in 1967 in Odessa, Texas.
Dick’s exceptional work ethic and dedication to ‘getting the job done right’ set the company apart from the competition and quickly led to it becoming the foremost electrical contractor in the Permian Basin with a commitment to safe and high-quality projects.
The continued growth and success of Saulsbury Electric Co. led to Dick establishing Saulcon General Construction in 1980, whose turnkey construction services included civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical instrumentation.
As Dick’s suite of services continued to evolve and expand, so did the local oil and gas market. This became particularly prevalent in the mid-1990s, when a distinct shift towards EPC projects became apparent.
As a result, Dick added Saulsbury Engineering and Construction to his repertoire in 1994, distinguishing the business as a full-service EPC firm that supported both engineering and construction projects.
Over the subsequent two decades, he continued to undertake larger projects, add additional services, enter new markets, and open new offices under the Saulsbury name. In 2012, the three companies officially merged to become Saulsbury.
From its humble beginnings to its status today as a premier EPC company with over 2,000 employees, the foundation of Saulsbury’s success is built on its five core values of safety, integrity, excellence, relationships, and community.
Stewards of Dick’s nearly 60-year legacy, Saulsbury’s current leadership team continue to exceed customer expectations and deliver project excellence.
With a generous donation of $100,000 to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, the company was proud to contribute to the repair, as many of its own employees have enjoyed the cool, clear waters at BSP for generations.
Following a lengthy fundraising drive and a comprehensive ‘topto-bottom’ renovation, the pool reopened in June 2021.
“Our commitment to making a positive impact is deeply rooted in our culture and reflected in the way we support the communities where we live and work,” Matt affirms.
Through the Saulsbury Family Foundation and an internal charitable giving committee, the company also
contributes to a wide range of nonprofit organizations, each of which have a strong emphasis on employee involvement.
“Our dual approach to community engagement ensures that each of our team members have a voice in directing funds toward causes that matter to them personally and are local to the regions we serve,” he insights.
Saulsbury is a proud supporter of numerous organizations focused on education, health, family services, and community development, including Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), High Sky Children’s Ranch, the West Texas Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, the Harmony Home
“MY LEADERSHIP STYLE IS A BLEND OF DEMOCRATIC AND SERVANT LEADERSHIP. I BELIEVE IN COLLABORATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND EMPOWERING TEAMS TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. NO ONE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS, AND I VALUE INPUT AND HEALTHY DEBATE”
– MATT SAULSBURY, CEO, SAULSBURY
Children’s Advocacy Center, the Aphasia Center, Odessa College, and UTPB, to name a few.
Furthermore, the company’s culture of giving extends beyond financial contributions through its Saulsbury Serves program.
“Through Saulsbury Serves, employees are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and get involved,” Matt expands.
Whether volunteering at the local food bank, supporting Meals on Wheels deliveries, or participating in Christmas in Action projects, its teams are active participants in improving the lives of local people.
Every year, Saulsbury Serves volunteers dedicate hours of their time and resources to support the local causes closest to their hearts.
Meanwhile, with a strong commitment to honoring and supporting veterans, the company proudly partners with organizations such as Trinity Oaks Outdoors, a charity on a faith-based mission to make a difference in the lives of veterans through outdoor activities.
“To us, corporate philanthropy means more than writing checks – it’s about building lasting relationships, giving our time, and being a true community partner. That’s the Saulsbury way,” he proudly states.
COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Last year, Saulsbury was recognized on Engineering News-Record’s 2024 Top 400 Contractors and Top 20 Petroleum Contractors lists.
However, while industry recognition is always appreciated by the company, it is not what drives it forward.
“While such awards affirm our standing in the industry, our true motivation lies in something deeper – a relentless commitment to excellence and continuous improvement,” Matt reflects.

“We’re our own toughest critic, constantly evaluating how we can improve through enhanced training, streamlined processes, and the integration of new technologies,” he says.
As a privately held company, Saulsbury’s focus is on long-term sustainability and strategic growth rather than short-term accolades.
While recognition may follow, it’s the result of staying true to its principles that is most important.
INVESTING IN TOMORROW
By investing in future engineers and young people interested in energy
and infrastructure, Saulsbury recognizes the critical role that the next generation of leaders will play, not only in shaping the evolution of the company but driving progress across industries nationwide.
Therefore, engaging with students and young professionals is more than just a recruitment effort – it is a commitment to fostering innovation, leadership, and excellence in the field.
As such, the company has cultivated strong partnerships with higher education institutions across Texas, such as its long-standing relationships with Odessa College and UTPB.
“Our involvement extends beyond traditional recruitment – we actively support capital campaigns to expand and modernize campuses, ensuring students have access to state-of-theart facilities that prepare them for the

Looking to the future, continuous improvement remains Saulsbury’s guiding principle as it strives to be a stronger, more agile organization year on year.
It has the unique advantage of setting strategic goals that align with long-term stability as opposed to short-term shareholder expectations.
“This allows us to stay focused on what’s best for our business, people, and clients,” Matt confirms.
Strategic diversification is also a key priority which the company has been actively pursuing for several years and will continue to do so moving forward.
Indeed, while Saulsbury’s legacy and foundations are deeply rooted in the oil and gas sector, it recognizes the volatility that can accompany the industry.
“We’ve strategically expanded into renewable energy and infrastructure, focusing on key growth areas such as utility-scale solar power, BESS,
substations, and power delivery.”
These sectors complement the company’s core strengths and capabilities while offering long-term and less cyclical opportunities that align with global energy transition trends.
Having recently surpassed a significant milestone in constructing its 70th cryogenic gas plant, equaling over 14 billion cubic feet of processing capacity to date, it is ideally positioned for continued success.
“Surpassing that milestone is a symbol of the trust we’ve earned, partnerships we’ve built, and Saulsbury’s story of relentless progress. We’ve built a reputation as a trusted leader in the industry – one project, one partnership, and one milestone at a time,” he prides.
Looking ahead, Saulsbury will continue a managed growth trajectory into emerging markets while exploring additional industries that can benefit from its proven track
record in complex project execution.
“Our goal isn’t just to grow – it’s to grow with purpose, delivering value and additional opportunities for our employees while remaining adaptable in an ever-changing energy landscape,” Matt confidently concludes.
