Howard C. Allen founded Allen’s Plumbing Company in 1946. He founded the business with one employee and one panel vehicle. The company continued to grow and by 1947, it employed three full time employees, and four service vehicles. During this period, boiler and general plumbing operations became the mainstay of the company. By 1971, Allen’s moved to its present location of 404 S. Hayden, and became known as Allen’s Tri-State Mechanical Incorporated. Howard C. Allen is a visionary in the mechanical field for which the city of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle has benefited. This is demonstrated through the introduction of high-pressure sewage cleaning equipment, pump trucks and other technical applications. Never afraid to roll up his sleeves and “get busy,” H. C. Allen stayed involved in day-to-day operations at Allen’s Tri-state Mechanical Inc. until his passing in January of 2016.
“There is no job too big or too small.”
