What Sets Us Apart
The WMP Difference
Made in USA
We’re proud to manufacture products in the USA in our premier 125,000-square foot fabrication facility in Alvin, Texas, just outside Houston.
In business since 1967, our 100+ U.S.-based team members serve local, domestic and international clients with our solutions in custom fabrication and reactor and tower internals products.
24/7 On-Demand
With our state-of-the-art computer numerical control (CNC) equipment, robotic welding, and automated loading equipment, Woven Metal Products can program and run multiple machines for maximum productivity.
Once this machinery is loaded, we’re able to continue working without an operator 24 hours a day, seven days a week, helping us meet quick turnaround times and deadlines. With automation, we can run a true production line, meeting tight deadlines for large orders.

Family-Owned & Operated
Richard Hillenburg, grandfather of current president Russell Hillenburg, started WMP in 1967, making Russell the third-generation operator of the family business. Russell worked his way up from sweeping the shop floor as a teenager to fieldwork, working to understand every facet of the company and its business.
Our company continues to thrive in the nearly six decades we’ve operated as a family-owned business, and we’re proud of our transition to the third generation of family management in 2010. We’ve transformed from a small custom metal parts manufacturer into a renowned leader within the metal fabrication industry, serving some of the biggest names across multiple industries.
Solutions Provider
We’re in the business of providing solutions for our customers. WMP has transformed beyond metal fabrication and manufacturing to become a solutions provider for our customers around the globe.
We partner with our customers, helping them solve challenges. In fact, our team has developed several patented products and designs, working with our partners and customers after seeing their pain points firsthand.
WMP Patented Solutions
Outlet Support Grid (OSG)
A patented, full-diameter support grid for axial flow reactors, developed with global licensor Topsoe as a replacement option for standard outlets (elephant stools). It reduces pressure drop at the reactor outlet system by as much as 75% compared to conventional designs and installs through the existing manway without welding to the vessel shell.
Tray Deck Repair Washer
A patented washer that bends into worn, enlarged tray valve openings, allowing field crews to repair existing floating valve tray panels during turnaround discovery without welding, panel replacements, or special tools. Available in many metal alloys and shapes to match existing tray valves.
Scallop Support Distributor
A patented support distributor that reinforces scallops in radial flow reactors, extending scallop life by improving structural support and reducing crushing when subjected to high heat.
Methods for Improving Flow in Radial Flow Reactors
A preferred process optimization method designed in partnership with Axens.
By varying scallop slot sizes and patterns and the perforation sizes and platforms within the center pipe, WMP can regulate and fine-tune reaction flow to optimize catalytic reactions
