About Gulf Compress

Gulf Compress is a cooperative warehouse association organized in 1950 for the purpose of providing safe, dependable storage and services for South Texas cotton Producers... Over the past forty-eight years Gulf Compress has more than doubled its storage capacity. In 1995 Gulf Compress merged with Delta Coop Compress in Raymondville forming the largest, most progressive and modern warehouse complex in Central and South Texas. With our highly flexible data processing department and close proximity to Mexico, we can offer excellent warehousing and delivery services for cotton and other products.

Gulf Compress is owned and controlled by twenty-one member gins and associations. Each member association names a director to serve on Gulf's Board. The directors review the financial statement monthly and meet quarterly to set policy and give direction. Although Gulf Compress is a cooperative, it is structure to offer services to any gin. Non-cooperative gins which deliver bales to Gulf Compress can do so through our Non-Member Gin Rebate Plan, whereby they receive a cash rebate based on margins, or through a separate cooperative association names Southern Cotton Growers. Members of Southern Cotton Growers receive cash and equity according to Gulf's margins and also have representation on our Board of Directors
