About Franks Manufacturing
Franks Manufacturing operates from San Antonio, Texas, where the plant opened in 1980 as a family-owned venture producing Texas Best Lick Feeders for the agricultural liquid feed industry. The company remains family-owned and operated; ownership passed from father to son in November 2006, and James Franks serves as president. The company specializes in heavy-gauge, high-volume thermoforming and vacuum forming of custom plastic products. Its capabilities include CNC routing on 3-axis machines handling sheets up to 60 by 120 inches, mold production, prototyping, and design services using MasterCAM and SolidWorks. Materials range from polyethylene and acrylics to non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, as well as composites, foam, and wood-based boards. Franks describes itself as one of the largest custom vacuum formers in South Texas, serving both small and large volume orders. Customers span agriculture, oil and gas, medical, grocery, construction, waste management, automotive, and government infrastructure. Concrete product lines include Protein Lick Feeders for agriculture, open-top containment tanks used in the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, and Bakken shale fields, store bins for grocery retailers, and cough/sneeze shields for medical facilities. The client roster includes Fortune 500 companies. Franks emphasizes a culture of teamwork, loyalty, respect, and integrity, aiming to deliver outstanding products with dedicated customer service.
