Our History
Our company started back in 1979 in Lloydminster, Alberta when the father of Sur-Flo’s current president decided to blaze his own path in the oil and gas service industry. Building a reputation for reliable and quality service, Lloyd Nelson worked long days to meet his clients’ needs. From humble roots as a one-man operation, the company garnered a reputation for the quality and reliability of its services.
The company grew over the years, but eventually, the economic downturn of the ’80s caused a reckoning in the oil and gas industry of Alberta. Sur-Flo almost followed the path of these companies, but the Nelsons weren’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. After receiving a business and engineering degree and spending time in Calgary’s corporate world, Darrell Nelson decided to join his father at Sur-Flo to help revive the company and eventually take on the role of company president.
The combination of engineering expertise and industry experience led to the design of Sur-Flo’s patented Paddle Meter, Control Valve, and Rotoboss technologies. These innovations paved the way for Sur-Flo as it became a company that the industry knows and trusts to provide reliable and simple products, with superior customer service.
