MOGAS Industries was formed in May 1973 when Louis Mogas purchased a small machine shop in Houston. He soon acquired the rights to service and manufacture ball valves from Cameron Iron Works. Under Louis' leadership, the Company studied valve failures and established an R&D department that customized valves for specific applications. Since 2000, MOGAS has established sales and service offices in Australia, China, Europe, Canada, South America, Middle East and India.
Early on, Louis Mogas introduced business behaviors that became the foundation of the Company's core values--everyone is the CEO of something, make work fun, do what's right--to name a few. His belief that work can be fun and honorable, and that there is one team at MOGAS drive the Company's business principles today.
While Louis received many Company awards, including The Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies, multiple Best Companies to Work For in Texas, vendor excellence, Texas Family Large Business of the Year Finalist, and Best Quality Product, he was most proud of his and his family's philanthropy, and of employee fund raising and volunteerism contributions. These include Ronald McDonald House Houston, The Periwinkle Foundation, Camp for All, National Multiple Sclerosis Association, and several Houston district schools. In 2017 Louis Mogas was honored as a distinguished alumni at Texas A&M University, Kingsville for the creation of the Mogas Family Perseverance Scholarship Endowment. MOGAS Industries also awards scholarships and educational grants to employees and their children, and mentors summer hire interns.
The family of Louis Mogas, the MOGAS Executive Leadership Team and our employees worldwide are mourning the loss of a tremendous man whose leadership was only matched by his passion and fervor for life and serving others. We all carry the lessons that Louis shared with us in our hearts and we will continue to share his legacy to the world through our work and in our lives.
"Always live out your values in your work, so that when you drive home at the end of each day, you can feel proud of yourself." Louis Mogas

MSCI to Consult on a Potential Reclassification of Greece to Developed Market status27.1.2026 00:15:00 CET | Press release
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) announced today the launch of a consultation on a proposal for the potential reclassification of Greece from Emerging Market status to Developed Market status in one step, with implementation targeted for the August 2026 Index Review. As part of the MSCI 2025 Market Classification Review, MSCI acknowledged that the Greek market made progress in aligning with the accessibility standards commonly observed in Developed Markets in Europe and that Greece also meets the Economic Development criteria for Developed Market status. However, at the time, Greece did not meet the Size and Liquidity persistency rule, which requires a minimum number of five companies to meet Developed Market Standard Index criteria over each of the last eight Index Reviews to consider an upward reclassification. MSCI treats European countries classified as Developed Markets as a single entity for index construction and maintenance purposes. This approach reflects the high degree of integration
