ABOUT
Gulf Coast Crating (GCC) is not your traditional crating company. We were not built by an ambitious carpenter who decided to start a larger operation. Instead, GCC’s founder, Paul Pitman, was a former supply-chain professional who spent 17 years in the logistics and transportation sector prior to starting the company in May 2014. Focused on sales and his customers' needs for much of his career, he took on the role of Executive Vice President of a regional transportation company. That experience taught him the metrics side of running a business. He hired two former furniture builders with a customer-focused background, a strong financial approach, and a shoestring budget and started GCC out of the back of a customer’s warehouse. While never losing focus of the client and maintaining a judicious economic approach, he has built the largest crating company in Houston, with over 300 employees, and is now servicing multiple markets.
