With additional locations in Ohio and Oklahoma and an office in Europe, Marsh Bellofram has seen much success both in the U.S. and abroad. Currently, Marsh Bellofram employs 375 people in West Vir- ginia, 41 in Ohio, 100 in Oklahoma and 16 at Marsh Bellofram Europe Ltd. Marsh Bellofram has had to adjust to company growing pains, but customers’ demands are still the number one priority. “We continue to expand rapidly to meet the needs of the oil and gas market and are in the works of ren- ovating our facility to accommodate even more production to address those needs,” says Dan Williams, marketing manager. “Today’s production environment is more than just parts—we are perfectly positioned to meet those needs by offering engineer-to-engineer consulta- tions that blend the expertise of more than 20 on-site engineers who specialize in areas of electronics, pressure regulation and sil- icone sealing.” Having its headquarters located in the Mountain State has proven to be a bene- fit for Marsh Bellofram. “Our location in proximity to the tri-state area has given us access to a good workforce, and being able to access tools that help us train and retain employees has also been an added benefit,” says Williams.
