America Clean Fuel Corp to Launch 1,000-Barrel-Per-Day Lubricant Blending Facility in New Caney
Another sign of New Caney’s explosive growth is on the horizon: America Clean Fuel Corp (ACFC) has announced that it will open a new state-of-the-art lubricant blending facility in the community next month. The plant will have the capacity to produce 1,000 barrels per day, further cementing New Caney’s role as a hub for industry and development in the northeast Houston area.
The facility, which will anchor ACFC’s Synergen™ lubricants line, is strategically located to tap into Houston’s petrochemical corridor. The company says its New Caney site is built for scale, offering more than 6,000 barrels of on-site storage capacity and advanced logistics to support regional and national demand for industrial lubricants.
Growth That Attracts Industry
For longtime residents, the arrival of large-scale industrial projects is part of a much larger story. In the past decade, New Caney has transformed from a quiet community into a magnet for residential and commercial expansion. Proximity to the Grand Parkway, Interstate 69, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport has positioned the area as both accessible and desirable for developers.
Residential neighborhoods have surged in number, with planned communities drawing thousands of new families. Retail and entertainment anchors such as Valley Ranch Town Center and the East Montgomery County Improvement District’s infrastructure investments have accelerated the area’s momentum. This steady growth is now drawing industrial players like ACFC, who see both the workforce and logistical advantages in setting up shop here.

What This Means for New Caney
The blending facility represents a milestone in ACFC’s bid to expand its Synergen™ line, but for New Caney, it underscores how the community’s growth is shaping the kinds of projects that choose the area. While some businesses arrive to serve residents directly—like new retail centers and restaurants—others, like ACFC, are looking to leverage location, infrastructure, and access to Houston’s energy network.
The company says the facility will operate with a modular design, allowing it to scale up production quickly while maintaining a focus on regulatory compliance and environmental considerations. Industry observers note that the U.S. hydraulic oil market is shifting toward cleaner formulations, and ACFC aims to meet that demand from its New Caney base.
A Community in Transition
New Caney residents have seen their community evolve rapidly, with growth bringing both opportunities and challenges. Projects like ACFC’s reflect a broader regional trend: as Montgomery County continues to grow at one of the fastest rates in Texas, companies in energy, logistics, and advanced manufacturing are increasingly drawn to the area.
From new subdivisions and schools to industrial plants and logistics hubs, the face of New Caney is changing. For residents, that means more local jobs, more infrastructure, and continued questions about how to balance rapid development with quality of life.
