History
Flintco was founded in 1908 as Tulsa Rig, Reel, and Manufacturing Company (TRR). It served as a supplier of drilling and pumping equipment for the burgeoning oil industry. C.W. Flint became co-owner of TRR in 1919, and sole owner in 1935, expanding operations to include oil field lumber yards and the building of derricks.[5] TRR diversified into building construction, working for the U.S. government building Army bases and airfields. It was between 1949 through 1958 that Flintco undertook its first remodel construction project on the Hillcrest Medical Center campus in Tulsa.[6]
