Mission Statement:
Watco Companies will provide the best transportation related services to our customers in the most efficient and economical manner possible. We will provide an environment that allows our companies and our people to improve and grow, passing on to future generations a company with an outstanding reputation for customer service, profitability and quality.

Watco Companies was started in 1983 by Charles R. "Dick" Webb. The first operation was an industrial switching operation in DeRidder, Louisiana that is still in existence today. After making sure this operation was in control and serving the customer up to expectation, Dick started his first mechanical operation, a railcar repair shop in Coffeyville, Kansas with a group of hand picked employees and a determination to make a difference in the quality of the industry. From this base and the efforts of our hard working employees, we have grown into many facets of the rail industry. Our focus has been one of customer satisfaction in any business venture be it in or out of the rail industry.
