DXP's innovative pumping solutions provide engineering, fabrication and technical design to meet the capital equipment needs of its global customer base.

SmartSource, a DXP integrated supply program, allows a more efficient way to manage the customer's supply chain needs for MROP products. The program allows the customer to transfer all or part of their supply chain needs to DXP, so the customer can focus on his core business. SmartSource effectively lowers costs by outsourcing purchasing, accounting, and on-site supply management to DXP, which reduces the duplication of effort by the customer and supplier. DXP's broad range of first-tier products provides an efficient measurable solution to reduce cost and streamline procurement and sourcing operations.
