Superior Silica Sands LLC (SSS) is part of the Insight Equity family of companies. Insight Equity, a private equity firm based in Southlake, Texas, owns a portfolio of companies with more than $800 million of capital currently under management; SSS is one of ten companies under ownership control by Insight Equity and was acquired in 2008.

With Insight Equity’s support, SSS built a new state-of-the-art processing plant at Kosse, Texas, in 2009. This facility has the capacity to supply over 900,000 tpy of quality proppant (frac) sand from high quality Wisconsin feed. In 2010, the Company opened a second industrial sand plant in Kosse dedicated to processing sand mined at the Kosse quarry. The smaller plant has a capacity of 450,000 tpy and a variety of high quality products for the golf/sports and construction market segments, as well as 100 mesh frac sand.

Our access to a Wisconsin ore means SSS is uniquely positioned to supply extraordinary quality frac sand to our North American oil & gas customers. We regularly ship large quantities of this high quality round grain sand from the north for processing at our Kosse, Texas, operation. Being able to offer both high quality “northern sand feed” as well as Texas sand gives us a unique competitive advantage in the markets we serve. We are proud to be headquartered right in the heart of the Southwest and to have a prominent presence in western Wisconsin.
