What National Process Equipment does
National Process Equipment (Natpro) is Canada's largest national distributor of pumps, compressors, vacuum pumps, and related process equipment, formed in mid-1998 through the merger of Wilron Equipment Ltd. and Hydro Dynamics Ltd., two Canadian pump distributors each with over 30 years of prior operating history. The company distributes rotating equipment from multiple world-class manufacturers across five core categories: centrifugal pumps (industrial, API 610, vertical turbine, fire pump packages, horizontal pumping systems, sealless, and self-priming configurations), positive displacement pumps (vane, screw, progressive cavity, plunger/piston, AODD, sealless, and metering types), submersible and specialty pumps (grinder, heavy-duty abrasive, sewage and wastewater, dewatering, and the OverWatch in-line system), vacuum pumps and multistage centrifugal blowers, and compressors (air compressors plus gas compressors up to 4,000 HP). Beyond distribution, Natpro operates in-house engineered fabrication for LACT skids and custom pump packages, a repair network, remanufacturing with faster lead times than OEMs, foundry solutions including 3-D printing for obsolete parts, technical training, and SmartReliability condition monitoring with VFD-based pump protection.
Natpro serves industrial customers across oil & gas (the largest vertical with upstream, midstream, and downstream exposure), municipal water and wastewater, fire protection, mining, chemical, food and beverage, refining, energy and power, and renewables. The company operates through seven Canadian office locations (Calgary HQ, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and Grande Prairie, plus toll-free routing to Saskatoon and Winnipeg) and is supported by more than 50 application engineers and technical personnel with over 1,000 years of combined expertise, plus $130 million of parts inventory. Revenue is generated through three streams: equipment distribution (hardware sales), service and repair (professional services including 24/7 emergency support), and engineered fabrication (custom pump packages and LACT skids), with quote-based project pricing reflecting customization.
The company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) since April 17, 2013, and now operates under the DXP Natpro brand as part of DXP's Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS) division alongside DXP's Supply Chain Services and MROP Products and Services divisions.
