Corrosion Resistant Alloys, L.P. (CRA) is a just in time (JIT) mill providing high-quality corrosion resistant alloy tubulars to fulfill customer needs that are currently unmet by standard supply chain models. CRA’s tubular products include oil country tubular goods (OCTG), mechanical tube for downhole equipment, and schedule pipe and tube. It is not CRA’s intent to compete with standard mills but to improve upon the inefficiencies of distribution when projects are met with the unexpected. Our specialty is non-standard situations such as expedited delivery times, custom sizes, specifications, lengths, and small production runs where customization, flexibility, and innovation provide additional value to customers.
Founded in 2001, CRA’s global headquarters are strategically located in Houston, Texas, enabling quick material provision to locations across the globe. Initially operating as a distributor and stockist, since 2008, CRA has acquired two of the world’s largest cold finishing mills, a third smaller mill, and numerous additional pieces of manufacturing equipment while transitioning to a JIT mill manufacturing model. In 2021, CRA purchased property in Brenham, TX (just outside of Houston) with plans to build a facility that will significantly enhance manufacturing capacity, capabilities, and increase speed by consolidating many processes under one roof.
