 Bettis®
roots go back to 1929 when it was established as an oilfield supply
house and manufacturer’s representative. The company later evolved
into a manufacturing organization, becoming a pioneer in the valve
actuation business. Today, Bettis® is the world’s leading independent
manufacturer of pneumatic and hydraulic valve actuators. Bettis®
products are used in almost every energy related industry including
on and offshore oil and gas transmission, petrochemical and
petroleum refining. Other significant markets include chemical,
power industry including nuclear, pulp and paper, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical, textile and water systems. The company has potential
in virtually any market where valves are operated automatically.
The manufacturing headquarters in Waller, Texas (near Houston) houses more
than 145,000 square feet of covered manufacturing, research,
engineering and office facilities.
Since Bettis®’
inception, it has continuously expanded both its physical capacity
and its product lines. Its growth has come, in part, from the
acquisition of some of the world’s most reputable actuator
manufacturers with a myriad of offerings and specialties. As a
result of these acquisitions, Bettis® now operates plants worldwide
coupled with a global sales and distribution network unmatched in
the industry.
 Acquired
in 1990, Erichsen, now Bettis® Canada, has a strong reputation
as a leader of gas/oil pipeline operators in Canada. By coupling the
company’s outstanding products with its own global sales network,
Bettis® expanded Erichsen’s geographic scope into many of the world’s
most active gas pipeline markets. Since the acquisition, Bettis® has
expanded the Canadian plant three times, increasing its size from an
original 32,000 square foot plant to 88,000 square foot operation.
In December of 1996,
Bettis® became a part of Daniel Industries, Inc. Daniel manufactures
a broad range of flow measurement and control devices, principally
for the energy industry.
Bettis® was integrated
into the Emerson group of companies in June 1999. The company’s
significant growth has taken Bettis® to a global corporation with
more than 90 million USD in revenues and over 600 total employees.
Bettis® is a Total Quality Management Company with the most complete
product offering in the valve actuator industry. |
