About Us

Our Mission

To simplify the research and procurement of flow control products in an online environment while making the products available to all regions of the world.

Our Vision

To provide an online platform which allows our partner suppliers to reach a global customer base and spend more time focusing on development and production.



OUR HISTORY

Big Iron Flow Control Ltd. was incorporated due to a need in the market for an online marketing and sales platform for Canadian built, in stock products specific to upstream oil & gas well services.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Big Iron Flow Control was originally created as an internal resource for a fabricator to track all available third-party flow control products and their distinct attributes, properties and prices.

Prior to creating the database, it was very labor-intensive for the applications, engineering, estimating and procurement departments to research, evaluate, quote for internal/external projects and procure flow control equipment. 

As our systems and projects evolved, we began building out a custom flow control parts database and through continuous improvement we have ended up here, with Big Iron Flow Control bringing our hard work and lessons learned to you.

It is our hope that we can leverage our work to help you speed up your processes to become more efficient and accurate. As end users and packagers of equipment which require extensive flow control products, we feel confident that we can support you and your teams with any and all technical, commercial or logistics related challenges you may be facing.
