Industrial distributor and pump service provider founded in Houston in 1908, covering rotating equipment, bearings, metal working, safety and MRO supply.
DXP Enterprises is an industrial distributor and service provider supplying maintenance, repair, operating and production products to industrial businesses through a national distribution network. The business traces back to Southern Engine and Pump Company, founded in Houston in 1908 by Charles A. Levins, and acquisitions are described as a significant and historical part of its growth strategy. The company positions itself as a first-tier distributor of more than 90 percent of the MRO and production products industrial operations require, and operates a Canadian arm as DXP Canada.
Product divisions cover rotating equipment, bearings and power transmission, metal working, safety, industrial supplies and renewable energy. Alongside distribution, DXP runs local service and repair centers, in-house testing, engineering upgrades, systems design and troubleshooting, and pump training programs.
Pump coverage spans centrifugal designs (horizontal, vertical turbine, API 610 and specialty), positive displacement designs (rotary gear, vane, screw and lobe), submersible, metering and vacuum pumps, along with air compressors, blowers, mechanical seals and packing, and electric motors. Complete pumps and spare parts are typically stocked at a DXP distribution center or a local service center.
Metering pumps are supplied in diaphragm, hydraulic diaphragm, plunger and peristaltic designs covering flow rates from 0.001 GPH to over 4,000 GPH, with accuracy to plus or minus 1 percent. Submersible units handle fluids carrying up to 70 percent solids and come in metallurgies rated for temperatures over 200 degrees F.
Represented pump manufacturers include Flowserve, Sulzer, KSB, Grundfos, Xylem Goulds, Gorman Rupp, Cornell, PumpWorks, Viking, Blackmer, Corken, IMO, Netzsch, Milton Roy, Pulsafeeder, Wanner Hydra-Cell and Watson Marlow.
Surplus and used industrial pumps are hydraulically re-rated into remanufactured units, each put through rotordynamic analysis and inspection, with complete performance testing available at guaranteed rated condition. The company states that remanufactured delivery timelines run well ahead of new OEM equipment.
| Remanufactured pump | DXP delivery | Stated OEM delivery |
|---|---|---|
| API end-suction | 8 to 10 weeks | 32 to 45 weeks |
| API multistage | 14 to 16 weeks | 45 to 55 weeks |
Warranty on remanufactured pumps is stated as 12 months after start-up or 18 months after shipment. Back-end pullout upgrades are offered to bring existing pumps into API 610 compliance, including OH2 conversions, OH4 to OH3 bearing bracket additions, and BB1 and BB3 bearing housing upgrades that replace product cooling with internal fan cooling.
Safety work extends past PPE distribution into confined space rescue. Engineered systems capability covers fabricated measurement skids, energy recovery, process controls and automation.
