Oilfield services firm Hampco Services Inc. recently announced plans to open an office in Katy.
“I essentially chose Katy to be close to our drilling contractor customers in the Energy Corridor,” Hampco owner and president Andy Grieve said. “I was also very impressed by DNV’s new building up off Mason Road and worked with their architects, Powers Brown and Katy Area EDC to look for sites. We had a couple of false starts but are delighted with the site we landed with in the end. In the future, there is no reason why the site couldn’t go up to employing over a hundred as we develop the site.”

It seems things are picking up now. I just read that Pathfinder Energy Services and Dyna-Drill are building facilities in Katy too and will employ over 700 people. Not sure how soon they will be employing people, but I'm here to help anyone that wants to move into Katy, TX. I know the area well and am a Realtor. Thanks for this great information, Southernboy.

I also just found out Texas Instruments will build a facility that will employ 375. They will invest $35 million to build the business and development center.

That information is VERY misleading, because Ft. Bend County is pretty much a suburb of Houston
and what they are calling "creating jobs" could easily just be companies moving from Harris county to Ft. Bend county.
