Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
BST Lift Systems has been in business continuously under the same management & ownership since its inception in 1981.
What is your primary product or service?
BST's primary product is downhole and wellhead equipment relating to oil & gas production, using advanced gas lift technology. BST also services and repairs its products at its Ventura facility.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
BST is small enough to respond quickly to customers' special product needs, yet large enough to handle large orders for both standard and special equipment. When a customer needs a special valve or other tool designed and manufactured, BST can provide quick turnaround - often in a matter of just a few days. At the same time, BST has also often been able to supply large quantities of its standard products at better prices and shorter lead times than our multi-national competitors.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
BST maintains one central administrative office and manufacturing facility in Ventura, CA. BST has also licensed some of its gas lift valve technology for product manufacturing in other parts of the world.
