Share on Reddit Business Description
Rocket Crating Company is a profitable custom crating and industrial packaging business serving the Houston oil and gas sector. The company designs and builds made-to-order wood crates, pallets, and skids engineered to each customer's specific load. Every crate is built to spec rather than pulled from stock, which is what allows the business to command custom pricing rather than compete on commodity pallet rates.
Revenue comes from three complementary streams: custom fabrication, which accounts for the majority of sales; packing and export preparation services, including ISPM-15 certified heat-treated stamping required for international shipments; and delivery, hot shot, and on-site crating performed at customer facilities. That mix produces recurring work from an established base of industrial accounts rather than one-off transactions.
The business generated $183,182 in revenue in 2025 with $67,808 in EBITDA, a 37% margin. Operations run out of a 2,000 sq. ft. Spring Branch warehouse at $1,650/mo all-in, and the company is registered under NAICS 321920 with active commercial general liability coverage at $1M/$2M limits. It is currently owner-operated with no employees, meaning payroll overhead is minimal and an owner-operator buyer captures the full earnings.

Part time helper - Facilities & Assets
- Operating from a 2,000 sq. ft. warehouse in the Spring Branch area of Houston, this location offers rapid access across the metro via I-10, 290, 610, and Beltway 8. The all-in rent is exceptionally low at $1,650/mo with the lease active through Aug 2026. The package includes a Mitsubishi forklift for handling of heavy crates up to 4,000 lbs, a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel company truck, and a 14 ft enclosed trailer for secure in-house deliveries, along with a complete cutting and fabrication setup consisting of a wall-mounted panel saw, a table saw station, a miter saw station, and a drill press. The pneumatic system features a California Tools air compressor with full hose runs and a complete suite of nail guns and staple guns, and the shop is further outfitted with heavy-duty assembly tables, and a full complement of hand tools. All equipment is well-maintained and currently in production use, so a new owner can fulfill orders immediately with zero additional setup cost.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- This business serves the heart of Houston’s industrial sector. The market is driven by consistent demand from the Oil & Gas supply chain, where heavy-duty, custom crating is a non-negotiable requirement for high-value equipment transport. While large automated companies dominate standard, high-volume pallets, this business excels in the Custom Heavy-Duty crates and pallets. This model has built a loyal base of repeat industrial clients who prioritize quality and reliability over mass-market pricing. The business is already registered with SAM(System for Award Management), providing a massive head start for a new owner to tap into the lucrative federal and state contracting market. With 2026 Buy American Act updates increasing domestic content requirements, local "Made in USA" crating manufacturers are in high demand. A new owner can further scale by pursuing Texas HUB certification or Port Houston’s SBE Inclusive Sourcing programs.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth potential exists in partnering with Houston’s thousands of Freight Forwarders and 3PL providers. Located near the Beltway and Port of Houston, the shop is perfectly positioned to handle high-volume export packing. Additionally, targeting high-end Moving Companies that require custom crating for fragile assets, art, and electronics offers a steady secondary revenue stream.
While anchored by the Oil & Gas sector, the facility is ideally suited for Houston’s high-margin Aerospace and Medical industries. Furthermore, the business is already SAM(System for Award Management) registered, providing a massive head start for a new owner to pursue lucrative federal and municipal contracts, a sector currently untapped.
