In recognition of the longtime name value of Douglas Pump Service, Inc., the new official name is C&B Equipment Midwest Inc. DBA Douglas Pump Service, Inc. C&B Equipment has retained all staff and employees, and intends to move its current Lenexa location to Douglas Pump Service, Inc.’s 17,000 square foot service facility in Overland Park.

For Douglas Pump Service, Inc. leadership, it was shared values that drew them to the deal.
