Derrick Mfg. Corp

What Derrick Mfg. Corp does

Derrick Corporation is a privately held, third-generation family-owned manufacturer of industrial fine particle separation equipment founded in 1951 by H. William Derrick Jr. in Buffalo, New York. The company designs, manufactures, and services shale shakers, screening machines, centrifuges, hydrocyclones, and vibratory motors used across three primary verticals: oil & gas drilling solids control, mining and industrial mineral processing, and underground construction slurry separation. Its technology platform is anchored by proprietary Integrated Vibratory Motor engineering (invented by the founder) and patented screen architectures including Pyramid three-dimensional screens, Sandwich anti-blinding screens, Polyweb urethane panels, Trilogy screens, and G-Vault interstage screens, all conforming to API RP 13C for drilling applications.

Derrick's product portfolio spans Hyperpool GT (next-generation shale shaker, launched March 2026, delivering up to 22% higher handling capacity than its predecessor), Hyperpool, Dual Pool 600 Series, Flo-Line Cleaner family, DE-7200 and DE-1000 centrifuges, SuperStack and Stack Sizer wet screening machines, and the Super G/Super G2 vibratory motor family. The company holds an extensive granted US patent portfolio across shaker mechanics, screen geometries, and drive systems. Derrick monetizes through direct capital-equipment sales, recurring replacement parts and consumables (screen panels, urethane panels), and on-site technical service, installation, and maintenance support. Pricing is quote-based, varies by configuration and segment, and supports multi-year enterprise contracts. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales force across 12+ offices in the US, Canada, South Africa, UAE, Turkey, Kazakhstan, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia with a global authorized distributor network covering 6 of 7 continents.

The company differentiates through 75 years of continuous operation, a multi-decade installed base that drives consumables revenue, 17 consecutive years ranked #1 in Solids Control Equipment by EnergyPoint Research, and 600+ associates worldwide with more than 20% holding 20+ years of tenure. Recent strategic emphasis has been on the Hyperpool GT product launch, the January 2026 opening of the 10,000 sq ft Derrick Experience Center (DEX) in Buffalo for customer testing, and deepening enterprise customer wins across mining (Sibelco, Kropz South Africa) and large infrastructure (Grand Paris Express). The business is privately held under family ownership led by CEO Mitch Derrick and President Brad Derrick, with no disclosed external investors, M&A activity, or funding rounds.

Core offering

Derrick Corporation manufactures industrial fine particle separation equipment — primarily shale shakers, screens, centrifuges, hydrocyclones, and vibratory motors — for solids control in oil & gas drilling, wet and dry sizing in mining & industrial mineral processing, and slurry separation in civil underground construction. The company sells finished equipment, replacement screens, and on-site technical services to enterprise customers in the resource extraction and heavy infrastructure sectors, supported by global direct offices and an authorized distributor network.

Product overview

Derrick Corporation offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial separation equipment organized across three primary markets: Oil & Gas Drilling (shale shakers, screens, centrifuges, hydrocyclones, and associated solids control components), Mining & Industrial (wet and dry screening machines, dewatering equipment, and fine particle separation technology), and Underground Construction (slurry separation systems). The product line centers on proprietary screen technologies including Pyramid (3D), Polyweb (urethane), Sandwich (layered anti-blinding), and Trilogy screens, complemented by Super G vibratory motors that power the equipment. Core shaker products include Hyperpool GT (next-generation), Hyperpool, Dual Pool 600 Series, Flo-Line Cleaner series, and SuperStack/Stack Sizer for mining applications. The company sells finished industrial equipment rather than a software platform.
