- About Welker
We Make the Equipment That Keeps Energy Moving Safely.
Welker, Inc. is a Texas-based manufacturer specializing in sampling and odorization systems. For more than 70 years, pipeline operators, utilities, and energy companies worldwide have relied on Welker equipment to accurately measure, monitor, and safely handle natural gas, crude oil, and light liquids at every point in the distribution chain.
Everything is engineered and manufactured in-house at our Sugar Land, TX facility. That means our team sees a product go from design to delivery without leaving the building — and the people here take real pride in what ships out those doors.
- A Welker Subsidary
GDS Corp. is a Welker subsidiary headquartered in League City, TX. GDS designs and manufactures fixed gas and flame detection systems — protecting industrial facilities, pipelines, and personnel from hazardous gas leaks.

- What We Stand For
Core Values
These aren't posted on a wall and forgotten. They're how we make decisions, how we treat each other, and what we expect from everyone who joins this team.
Bring Value,
Be Valued.
Every decision — what we build, how we build it, how we treat customers and teammates — should create real value. We invest in people who bring their best, and we make sure they're recognized, respected, and rewarded for it. The best contributors here don't feel like a number. They feel like the reason we win.
“We're not here to fill seats. We're here to build something excellent — and that takes people who care.”
Use Good
Judgement.
We hire experienced, thoughtful people and give them room to make real decisions. We don't have a policy for every situation because we don't need one — we need people with the integrity and self-awareness to know what the right move is. That kind of trust is earned, and we protect it by making it the norm, not the exception.
“We trust you to know what to do. That trust is our highest compliment.”

- Has high standards — uncomfortable shipping something they're not proud of
- Wants to grow — building a career here, not just working a job
- Takes ownership — cares about the outcome, not just their individual task
- Communicates directly — says what they mean and means what they say
- Brings solutions — comes with answers, not just problems
