The ASCO Difference

Your Equipment Provider since 1960

The ASCO Difference

We know what's on the line for our customers. Whether they need to buy, rent, purchase parts or service, we have the fast support to back their jobs. It's the approach ASCO was founded on over 60 years ago and still practices every day. We strive to be the first call customers make when they have an equipment need.


ASCO's Core Values

Honor God, Develop People, Pursue Excellence, and Grow Profitably.


Team ASCO's Purpose

Be a blessing to those we serve.

Support 600+ experience staff members with continuous, extensive training.

Give back to our community and be good corporate citizens continually involved in philanthropic causes.

Continually improve and provide superior, ethical service to all ASCO customers exceeding their expectations and what the competition can provide.


What We Do

ASCO sells, rents, and provides parts and services serving those in construction, agriculture, material handling, oil and gas, local governments, landscaping and infrastructure. We have 23 locations throughout Texas and Eastern New Mexico.

How We Do Business

We pursue excellence. We are single-minded in our commitment to daily improvement. Our employees stay up-to-date on the latest technology, trends, and customer needs. We also keep working on how we can improve our customer service. Our goal is to provide superior, ethical, service to all ASCO customers. We want to exceed expectations and out serve our competitors. We strive to be good corporate citizens. We stay involved in community philanthropic causes. We want to see our communities grow and thrive.

How We Treat People

From our employees to our customers, being a blessing means treating people with respect. We work to do right by our people.

ASCO Employee Culture

Opportunities for employee growth are critical. ASCO provides opportunities for employee self-education and career growth. The growth moments are endless. Maintenance professionals learn new techniques, in-store employees continue to learn about the industries and projects we serve, and we learn to better serve customers.

We are committed to providing our employees with a standard of living well above the norm. Our business success means we can pay employees fairly and support them through life changes. While the success of the ASCO is a major point of pride for our founder and his family, the Wright family takes far greater satisfaction in supporting employees and being partners in their communities.

Annual Fundraiser

As part of the “to be a blessing” philosophy that guides ASCO, each of the twenty-three branches puts together an annual fundraiser for a company-chosen organization. We match every penny they raise.
