History
Our company was founded in 1948 by J. Parker Conrad, Co-Chairman of our Board of Directors, and began operations at our shipyard in Morgan City, Louisiana. In December 1997, we purchased all of the stock of Orange Shipbuilding Company, Inc., which owns our shipyard in Orange, Texas. The acquisition expanded our new construction capacity and expanded our product capabilities into additional types of marine vessels, including vessels for the U.S. government and modular components for offshore drilling rigs and floating, production, storage and offloading vessels.
Orange Shipbuilding has been engaged in shipbuilding since 1974. Our parent company Conrad Industries, Inc. was incorporated in March 1998 to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiaries, currently Conrad Shipyard, L.L.C., Orange Shipbuilding Company, Inc. and Conrad Aluminum, L.L.C. We completed our initial public offering in June 1998 by issuing 2.1 million shares of common stock.
