What Burt Process Equipment, Inc. does
Burt Process Equipment, Inc. is a privately-held US industrial distributor and custom systems integrator specializing in fluid handling and treatment equipment. The company is an authorized distributor for more than 70 manufacturer brands spanning centrifugal, diaphragm, peristaltic, magnetic drive, gear, piston, rotary vane, sump, and self-priming pumps, along with valves, fittings, hose, storage tanks, pulsation dampeners, measurement instruments (flow, level, pressure, temperature, pH/ORP, conductivity), and industrial tools from brands including Grundfos, ARO (Ingersoll Rand), Alfa Laval, LMI, Blue White, Crane Pumps & Systems, Finish Thompson, AMT/Gorman-Rupp, Ebara, GRI, Pulsafeeder, Albin, Hayward, Fluid-O-Tech, Flux, Dean Pump, and Ansimag.
Beyond distribution, the company operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Burt Systems (custom skid fabrication, chemical and polymer feed systems, custom plastic and steel tanks) and ProFlow Systems (process equipment systems) — that convert individual components into engineered, turnkey solutions. Revenue is generated through three streams: transactional hardware distribution (including a self-service e-commerce storefront at burtprocess.com), engineered systems and custom skid fabrication, and aftermarket pump repair and field services. Pricing is predominantly quote-based, with many high-value items showing "Call for Price" and a stated minimum advertised price policy.
The company pursues a sales-led go-to-market combining direct field sales for enterprise and project-driven buyers, inside sales for quote-based orders, e-commerce for transactional volume, and manufacturer partnerships for demand generation. Marketing is multi-channel, spanning SEO, blog/e-books, trade shows, webinars, newsletters, and video. Burt serves at least nine end-markets — industrial manufacturing, industrial wastewater, food and beverage, craft brewing, wine production, marine, printing, pulp and paper, adhesives, and zoos/aquariums — and claims a global client base of thousands of customers. No revenue, headcount, or capital-formation data is publicly disclosed.
