Cactus, Inc.

A Houston-based maker of wellhead and pressure control equipment for the oil and gas industry, Cactus designs and rents the gear that caps and controls oil and gas wells during drilling, fracking, and production — including its flagship SafeDrill® wellhead system and spoolable pipe from its FlexSteel brand. The company was founded in 2011 by Scott and Joel Bender, who had earlier led a business also called Cactus Wellhead Equipment, and it went public in 2018. Its name nods to the rugged, resilient plant that thrives in the harsh Texas oil country where its equipment is used.
