What SkoFlo Industries does

SkoFlo Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned industrial hardware manufacturer founded in 1988 and headquartered in Woodinville, Washington. The company designs and manufactures pressure-independent chemical injection metering valves (CIMV) and back pressure regulators (BPR) for the global oil and gas industry, serving both subsea and surface production applications. Its customers are upstream operators requiring reliable chemical injection—scale, corrosion, and wax inhibitors, plus MEG and methanol for hydrate management—across offshore and onshore facilities, including subsea deployments rated to 15,000 psi at water depths up to 10,000 feet.

The company's core technology is a patented pressure-balanced piston design that counters upstream and downstream pressure fluctuations with spring force to maintain constant flow, enabling a single pump to serve multiple injection points. This is the foundational IP invented by founder Paul Skoglund in 1988. The product portfolio spans three lines: the SF3 integrated topside package (combining a positive displacement flow meter, actuator, and CIMV); subsea CIMVs (high-flow and low-flow variants, ROV-installable, remotely adjustable, drawing only 1–4 watts, with Modbus/CANbus SIIS Level 2 communication) and subsea BPRs; and surface CIMVs and BPRs offered in 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 psi ratings. Differentiating features include Dual Core Technology (two CIMVs docking into one receptacle to reduce subsea tree size and cost) and self-flushing, debris-tolerant regulation with millisecond response and turndown ratios up to 1000:1.

SkoFlo monetizes through hardware sales on a quote-based, non-public pricing model. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales run direct from headquarters, supplemented by an authorized regional distributor network spanning roughly 13 countries across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. The company reports delivering more than 30,000 CIMVs since inception and holds 35+ years of installed-base experience. In 2023, leadership transitioned from founder Paul Skoglund to his daughter, Tami Hansen, as CEO.

Core offering

SkoFlo Industries designs, manufactures, and sells pressure-independent chemical injection metering valves (CIMVs) and back pressure regulators (BPRs) for subsea and surface oil and gas production. Its products use a patented pressure-balanced piston design that holds set flow rates constant despite upstream or downstream pressure fluctuations, enabling one pump to serve multiple injection points and reducing chemical operating costs. The portfolio includes the SF3 fully integrated metering package, subsea CIMV and BPR products rated to 15,000 psi at 10,000 ft depths, and surface CIMV and BPR models rated to 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 psi.

Product overview

SkoFlo Industries offers a comprehensive portfolio of pressure-independent chemical injection valves and back pressure regulators for the oil and gas industry. The product portfolio centers on three main product lines: (1) SF3 – a fully integrated chemical injection metering package combining PDFM (positive displacement flow meter), actuator, and CIMV; (2) Subsea products – including Chemical Injection Metering Valves (CIMV) in high-flow and low-flow variants, plus Subsea Back Pressure Regulators (BPR), all rated to 15,000 psi and operational to 10,000 ft water depth; and (3) Surface products – including Surface CIMV and Surface BPR models available in 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 PSI pressure ratings. All CIMV products share SkoFlo's proprietary pressure-independent technology featuring a pressure-balanced piston design that maintains constant flow despite upstream/downstream pressure fluctuations, enabling one pump to serve multiple injection points. The SF3 integrates the CIMV technology with a positive displacement flow meter and actuator for automated, fully packaged chemical injection control.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Milton Roy (LMI): Milton Roy / LMI manufactures metering and dosing pumps (LMI is a long-established chemical injection pump brand in oil & gas). Directly competes with SkoFlo on chemical injection metering pumps for upstream operators and shares the same metering-pump category but with a positive-displacement architecture rather than pressure-balanced piston.
• LEWA GmbH: LEWA is a global leader in metering pumps, process diaphragm pumps, and packaged skid systems for oil & gas chemical injection. Competes head-to-head with SkoFlo on offshore/subsea chemical dosing, with broader product breadth and larger scale (multiple global sites).
• ProMinent: ProMinent manufactures metering/dosing pumps and complete chemical injection systems for water treatment and oil & gas. Overlaps directly with SkoFlo's surface CIMV line on chemical injection for upstream operators, with particular strength in skid-integrated dosing packages analogous to SkoFlo's SF3.
• Seko (Ingersoll Rand): Seko designs and manufactures dosing/metering pumps (e.g., the Spring-driven series) used extensively in oil & gas chemical injection. Directly comparable to SkoFlo's surface and subsea CIMV products in terms of customer base and chemical injection use cases.

Broad incumbents

• IDEX Corporation: IDEX is a diversified fluidics platform owning multiple pump, valve, and dispensing brands (including Pulsafeeder, Viking, and Warren Rupp). It overlaps with SkoFlo in metering pumps and chemical injection components but competes as a multi-brand portfolio rather than a specialist.
• Flowserve Corporation: Flowserve is a global incumbent in pumps, valves, and seals for oil & gas, power, and chemical industries. Competes with SkoFlo indirectly through upstream operators' broader procurement frameworks, even though it does not specialize in pressure-independent chemical injection metering valves.
• Cameron / Schlumberger (SLB): SLB's Cameron subsea production systems business supplies complete subsea trees and production hardware — SkoFlo's CIMVs are installed inside these trees. Comparable as a buyer/specifier for subsea CIMVs but not a same-product competitor; relevant for understanding integrated bid dynamics.
• TechnipFMC: TechnipFMC designs and manufactures subsea production systems and integrated subsea trees. Like SLB/Cameron, it is the specifier of record for SkoFlo's subsea CIMVs in offshore projects — relevant comparable for subsea project economics, though not a direct product competitor.
• Graco Inc. Graco manufactures fluid handling equipment including chemical injection pumps for oil & gas (e.g., the Husky and NXT lines). Overlaps with SkoFlo's surface CIMV business and is a broader fluid-handling incumbent with global direct-sales reach and larger R&D spend.

Emerging players

• McDaniels Process (FMC Technologies / BIFFI): McDaniels Process supplies chemical injection systems and accessories for upstream oil & gas. Smaller and less differentiated than the metering-pump majors, but directly comparable to SkoFlo's surface chemical injection offering and a credible North American competitor for packaged injection skids.
