H. William Derrick Jr. founded Derrick Corporation in 1951 with a commitment to superior equipment design and manufacturing excellence.

During the first half of its existence, Derrick Manufacturing focused on applications in the mining, industrial, and chemical industries and built an impressive reputation for solving a wide variety of the most difficult fine screening and separation problems.

A major turning point occurred in 1977 just after Derrick had developed a new non-blinding, multi-layered fine screen assembly, the Derrick Sandwich Screen® panel. A Derrick sales representative suggested applying Derrick technology in the oil and gas drilling industry in the area of solids control. As a result, Derrick Equipment Company was established in Houston, Texas to serve that market. Today, sales in the oil and gas drilling industry account for a significant part of Derrick business.
