central region team - burt process equipment
Beginning in 2021, Burt Process Equipment merged with Fluid Handling Dynamics LLC expanding our physical reach to support our valued customers. In April 2021, Burt Process expanded to a newly established state-of-the-art central region distribution and fulfillment center.
Our facility is fully staffed in Bryan, Ohio, providing custom assembly, factory warranty evaluation, and pump repair. As a distributor for over 50 major equipment and high-end tools manufacturers, the new facility serves as a stocking and support hub. Expansion into Ohio allows Burt Process to reduce delivery time and shipping costs and provide field services to the region more effectively and efficiently.
