The Bosworth Company is the Permian Basin’s trusted choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services, serving homes and businesses across West and Central Texas since 1949.
The Bosworth Company‘s story began in 1949, when Charles A. Gray moved from Stanton, Texas, to Midland and founded C. A. Gray Plumbing Company. Three years later, a 15-year-old plumber’s apprentice named Corky Bosworth joined the company, beginning a career that would shape its future.
As the business grew, so did Corky’s responsibilities. The company expanded into heating and air conditioning in 1959 and later into commercial mechanical contracting, serving projects throughout Texas and Oklahoma. By 1974, Corky had become president and part owner.
Through the economic ups and downs of the Permian Basin, Corky remained committed to Midland, its people, and the company’s future. In 1987, despite challenging economic conditions, he took a significant personal financial risk and purchased the remaining shares from the Gray family. The business was renamed The Bosworth Company.
In 1983, another Permian Basin oil boom came to a halt, temporarily impacting company growth. In the summer of 1987, Mr. Bosworth purchased the remaining stock from the Gray family and obtained sole ownership. At that time, the company changed its name to The Bosworth Company.

He also believed that taking care of employees and giving back to the community were among the company’s greatest responsibilities. In 1998, Corky expressed a philosophy that continues to guide The Bosworth Company today:
“We’re very proud of Midland and the success it has provided us. Next to caring for our employees, the most important thing we do is give back to the community.”
Today, The Bosworth Company continues to build on that legacy. While the company has grown and evolved, Corky’s belief in earning a customer for life remains central to how we do business. It’s a commitment to doing the job right, standing behind our work, and building relationships that last.
Worth the Call. Always.
