Liberty Process

What Liberty Process does

Liberty Process Equipment, Inc. is a privately held US industrial manufacturer and distributor specializing in Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCPs) and aftermarket replacement parts, founded July 1, 2000, and operating as a subsidiary of Shanley Pump and Equipment, Inc. The company designs, sources, and supports a portfolio of PCP product lines — including the Liberty (standard flange), American (wobble stator AP/APM), Freedom (sanitary tri-clamp), Justice (open throat hopper), Millennium (industrial higher-capacity), SWGL (general-purpose), and Metering/Dosing (ADPL/ADBPL, ANPL/ANBPL, ML) series — configured across elastomer (Buna, Viton, EPDM, Natural Rubber) and housing (Cast Iron, 316 SS) options, with manufacturing supply across the United States, Germany, India, Spain, Argentina, and Brazil. The business serves industrial and commercial operators in 12+ verticals — wastewater, oil & gas, mining, food & beverage, chemical, agriculture, marine, pulp & paper, power generation, well drilling, cements/slurries, and education/research — supplying pumps and drop-in aftermarket replacement parts compatible with Moyno, Seepex, Netzsch, Allweiler, Tarby, and Continental OEM brands.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time new-pump sales, often as full packages with motors and baseplates, sold quote-based via an inside-sales motion and channel partners; (2) aftermarket replacement parts sold through the progressivecavityparts.com e-commerce storefront with same-day shipment and a full money-back guarantee; and (3) fee-based pump repair and refurbishment services performed by factory-trained technicians at the Arlington Heights, Illinois headquarters facility, with 24/7 on-call availability. Pricing is quote-driven, not publicly disclosed, and the company positions on cost advantage versus OEMs, fast shipment, and breadth across the PCP specification envelope. Distribution leverages the Shanley Pump parent and sister sites (Progressive Cavity Parts, Victory Pump Parts, Mag Drive Pump, SEIM Screw Flow Meters) plus TSA-approved international shipping from Chicago O'Hare, with a long-tail educational channel via the S.P.A.R.E.S. program donating or discounting refurbished pumps to universities and research facilities.

The company is led by founder-owner Terri Moohan, employs 11-50 people, and reports no disclosed revenue, cap table, or institutional investors; operations are concentrated at 2525 South Clearbrook Drive, Arlington Heights, IL.

Revenue model

1. New Progressive Cavity Pump Sales: One-time sale of new PCP units across Liberty, American, Freedom, Justice, Millennium, SWGL, and Metering series, often as full pump packages with motors and baseplates. All pumps are stocked for off-the-shelf, immediate shipment.
2. Aftermarket Replacement Pump Parts: Sale of drop-in aftermarket replacement parts (rotors, stators, seals, connecting rods, drive shafts, bearings, housings) compatible with Moyno®, Tarby®, Seepex®, Allweiler®, Netzsch® and Continental® brands. Same-day shipment of stocked parts through progressivecavityparts.com.
3. Pump Repair & Refurbishment Services: Fee-based industrial and commercial pump repair, refurbishment, seal/part replacement and motor replacement services performed by factory-trained technicians, often at significant savings versus OEM rebuilds. Includes full inspection, mechanical evaluation, recommended service report and warranty.
4. Educational Discount & S.P.A.R.E.S. Program: Discounted or free surplus/refurbished pumps distributed to colleges, universities, training facilities and government-sponsored research facilities via the S.P.A.R.E.S. (Surplus Pump And Refurbishment Equipment Services) program. Functions as a brand-building and goodwill channel rather than a primary revenue stream.

Product overview

Liberty Process Equipment, Inc. is an industrial manufacturer and distributor offering a portfolio of Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCPs), aftermarket replacement pump parts, and pump repair/refurbishment services rather than a unified software platform. The PCP offering is organized into multiple named product series that map to distinct application profiles: the Liberty Series (standard-flange), American Series (wobble-stator AP/APM), Justice Series (open-throat hopper), Freedom Series (sanitary), Millennium Series (industrial higher-capacity), SWGL Series, and a Metering & Dosing line split into ADPL/ADBPL, ANPL/ANBPL, and ML sub-families. These pump series are supported by an aftermarket parts catalog (Eagle, Independence, and Victory Series drop-in replacement parts compatible with Seepex, Moyno, Tarby, Netzsch, Allweiler, and Continental OEMs), a full-service Pump Repair and Refurbishment facility, the S.P.A.R.E.S. educational pump program, and supporting documentation resources (manuals, performance curves, dimensional drawings, and parts diagrams). Liberty Process is a subsidiary of Shanley Pump and Equipment, Inc., with sister sites Progressive Cavity Parts, Mag Drive Pump, Seim Screw Flow Meters, and Victory Pump Parts operating as related partner brands.

Direct peers

• Moyno (National Oilwell Varco): Inventor of the progressive cavity pump and Liberty's principal reference brand; NOV's Moyno unit competes head-on in industrial PCP sales and aftermarket parts. Liberty explicitly reverse-engineers drop-in parts for Moyno pumps, making it a direct aftermarket rival.
• Monoflo (IDEX Corporation): Monoflo, part of IDEX's Pump & Dispense platform, manufactures progressive cavity pumps for industrial and sanitary markets. Liberty lists Monoflo as a brand it services in its repair business and competes with in PCP.
• Netzsch Pumpen & Systeme: German manufacturer of progressing cavity pumps (NEMO®) for chemical, wastewater, food and oil & gas. Liberty lists Netzsch as a covered OEM brand in its aftermarket parts catalog, making it a direct PCP competitor.
• Continental Pumps: Specialty North American PCP manufacturer of Ultra and Continental pump lines. Liberty lists Continental as a covered OEM brand in its aftermarket parts catalog and provides direct competition in the same end markets.
• Allweiler (CIRCOR International): CIRCOR's Allweiler brand makes industrial progressive cavity and centrifugal pumps. Liberty lists Allweiler as a covered OEM brand in its aftermarket parts catalog and competes on price against CIRCOR's installed base.
• Roper Pump (Colfax/CIRCOR): Roper Pump, a CIRCOR brand, is a US PCP competitor that Liberty explicitly services through its repair/refurbishment business and competes with in oil & gas and chemical applications.
• Seepex: German global leader in progressive cavity pumps across wastewater, food, chemical and biogas. Liberty supplies aftermarket parts that fit Seepex BN and MD pump lines, making it a direct PCP competitor and aftermarket alternative.

Broad incumbents

• Flowserve Corporation: Large diversified industrial pump OEM (centrifugal, positive displacement, slurry) serving oil & gas, power, water and chemical — the same verticals Liberty targets. Overlaps as a broad incumbent rather than a PCP specialist.
• Viking Pump (IDEX Corporation): IDEX-owned positive displacement pump specialist (internal gear, lobe, progressing cavity) competing for the same viscous-fluid applications in chemical, oil & gas and food. Adjacent positive-displacement incumbent to Liberty's PCP focus.
• Xylem Inc. Global water technology major selling pumps (Flygt, Goulds, Wedeco) into municipal and industrial water/wastewater — one of Liberty's primary verticals. A broad incumbent in overlapping end markets.
