Jensen Mixers

What Jensen Mixers does

Jensen Mixers International, Inc. is a family-owned US manufacturer of heavy-duty side-entry mixers used in above-ground petroleum and petrochemical storage tanks, founded in 1950 by A.C. Jensen in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company pioneered the side-entry mixer category and sells two core product lines—the 400/600 Series and the 800/900 Series—covering 20 to 75 HP, operating at 430 shaft RPM, and supported by proprietary technologies including the Phoenix Propeller (pitch-to-diameter optimized, ISO 1940-G6.3 balanced), the Petro-Block mechanical safety device (claimed 99% effective at containing product during seal breaches), the Sentry and First-Watch leak-notification systems, and the Draw-Lock quick-release mechanism. Mixers are recommended for storage tanks from 2,000 BBL to over 1 million BBL and are used in crude oil BS&W management, crude and fuel-oil blending, gasoline additive blending, lubricant and additive homogenization, biofuels, bitumen blending, and tank temperature maintenance.

Jensen generates revenue from three streams: (1) hardware sales of mixer units and replacement parts, (2) remanufacturing, gearbox repair, mechanical seal, and actuator services performed at its Tulsa facility, and (3) on-site technician services and training. Distribution is exclusively enterprise, factory-direct and via a network of domestic representatives covering all 50 US states plus international representatives spanning 30+ countries across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based through the rep network, consistent with engineered-to-order industrial equipment sales. The company is privately held under continuous Jensen family ownership since founding, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A, or public-market involvement, and reports 51–100 employees.

Direct peers

• SPX FLOW (Lightnin): SPX FLOW's Lightnin brand is one of the most recognized global manufacturers of industrial mixers and agitators, including side-entry mixers used in petroleum, chemical, and water treatment storage tanks. Directly comparable product portfolio serving the same end customers (oil & gas terminals, refineries, petrochemical plants) with overlapping side-entry, top-entry, and portable mixer lines.
• Chemineer (a NOV brand): Chemineer, owned by National Oilwell Varco (NOV), is a long-established direct competitor in industrial mixing and agitation, with side-entry mixers used across petroleum refining, petrochemical, and chemical processing storage applications. Competes head-to-head with Jensen in oil & gas tank mixing, with a comparable product breadth and global service footprint.
• Philadelphia Mixing Solutions: Philadelphia Mixing Solutions manufactures industrial mixers and agitators including side-entry mixers for chemical, petroleum, and water/wastewater storage tanks. A focused specialty mixer manufacturer with comparable product positioning and similar mid-sized industrial OEM profile to Jensen.
• Mixer Direct: Mixer Direct sells industrial mixers, agitators, and impellers for chemical, paint, food, and petroleum tank applications, with a strong e-commerce and direct sales channel. Competes with Jensen in side-entry and portable mixing for industrial storage tanks, though more weighted to small/medium customers than large enterprise refineries.

Broad incumbents

• Sulzer: Sulzer is a global industrial engineering company with a mixing and agitation technology line (including side-entry mixers) serving chemical, oil & gas, water, and pulp/paper customers. Much larger and more diversified than Jensen; competes in the same side-entry mixer category but as part of a much broader process equipment and services portfolio.
• Xylem (Flygt): Xylem is a major global water technology company with industrial mixing and aeration products through its Flygt and other brands, serving water/wastewater and industrial process markets. Overlaps with Jensen in industrial tank mixing applications but is far larger and oriented primarily to water infrastructure rather than petroleum storage.
• National Oilwell Varco (NOV): NOV is a global oilfield services and equipment giant whose Chemineer brand directly competes with Jensen in industrial mixers for petroleum and petrochemical tanks. Far broader than Jensen — drilling equipment, wellhead, downhole tools — but its mixing/agitation division is one of the most direct competitive benchmarks for Jensen's product line.

Emerging players

• Hayward Gordon: Hayward Gordon is a North American manufacturer of industrial mixers, agitators, and process equipment serving chemical, mining, oil & gas, and water treatment customers. Comparable specialty industrial mixer OEM with a smaller product line than the largest incumbents; competes with Jensen in side-entry and top-entry mixer applications for storage tanks.
• Tartler GmbH: Tartler is a German specialty manufacturer of mixing and dosing systems for resins, composites, and industrial fluids, with some overlap into chemical storage tank mixing. A smaller, niche industrial mixer player with limited but real overlap with Jensen's chemical/petrochemical storage tank applications.

Regional players

• Ekato Group: Ekato is a Germany-based manufacturer of industrial mixing and agitation technology serving chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and oil & gas customers globally. Strong in EMEA and competes in side-entry and process tank mixers; comparable specialty mixer positioning to Jensen with primary geographic roots in Europe.
