Orange Shipbuilding, Orange TX
Orange Shipbuilding was founded by Tommy Clary in 1974 as a builder of tugs and towboats. In the late 1980s, they moved into government contracts set aside for small businesses, did very well at a time when most shipyards were struggling and were able to sell the business to Conrad Industries in 1997.
