We are a small family company located on the high plains of Texas. At this location in the middle of the "largest cotton patch in the world", we perform our research and development work with cotton fiber moisture devices. Some of our people started here in the 1960's and remain with us today. Several others have been here 10-20 years. Working with a good team can be habit-forming.

Much of the fabrication and forming, and all of the design, electrical wiring, control code, electronics design, assembly, testing, and shipping are done "in house". As you might imagine, with only 16 employees spread over a 60,000 square foot building complex, each of us wears many hats and the job is never boring.

We do a good bit of work around the world and we will happily handle your inquiries in Spanish or French if English is a problem.


A Brief History


Samuel Bartlett Jackson
(S.B.) was a pioneer in the 20th century cotton industry. He invented the first acid delinting process for cotton seed, paving the way for the sophisticated seed treatment and automated planting practices in use today. Among his other accomplishments, he recognized the need for a safe method of applying moisture to cotton fiber in the form of a liquid spray, the only method of moisturizing dry cotton in his era. He developed a surfactant that is still used for specialized purposes today under the trade name "Moyst." Following World War II, multiple companies were formed to further develop some of the methods he discovered.

 



His son, Samuel George Jackson  (Sam) pursued moisture restoration challenges to cotton fiber. Beginning with Moyst, he later developed (in 1957) the first moist air generator for cotton gins. Sam did much of the pioneering work for our company in choosing its present location, guiding its product line, and initiating the development of its present team approach to meeting challenges.

 


Samuel Christopher Jackson (Chris) is the third generation involved with cotton moisture in the family. Since 1991, he has managed the day-to-day affairs of the company as its president, and continues in that role today. Chris loves to associate with good people. Between the Samuel Jackson Team, its customers, and its suppliers, he is working with the best! Chris spends the majority of his time contacting customers through gin visits, phone calls, and e-mail. It is best to reach him by phone at 806-786-6355 or e-mail at .
