Total Petroleum Services Acquired by Northwest Pump & Equipment
Infinity Capital Partners arranged the transaction which closed on May 1, 2026
Oklahoma City, OK – May 14, 2026
Total Petroleum Services, Inc. (“TPS” or the “Company”), a respected provider of petroleum service and maintenance solutions, and Northwest Pump & Equipment Co. (“Northwest Pump”), a leading provider of petroleum, industrial, and service solutions, today jointly announced that TPS has been acquired by Northwest Pump. Infinity Capital Partners (“Infinity”) served as the exclusive financial advisor to TPS.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Huntington Beach, CA, TPS provides premier petroleum service and maintenance solutions to customers across Southern California and Arizona, with continued growth into new markets throughout the region. Trusted by national retail fuel brands, fleet operators, and commercial facilities, TPS has earned a reputation for best-in-class service, technical expertise, and dependable support.
“Total Petroleum Services has built a strong reputation for responsive service and deep customer relationships. That service-first mindset aligns directly with how we support our customers every day,” said Bob Mathews, President and CEO of Northwest Pump. “Their team shares our commitment to keeping our customers running. This partnership strengthens our presence in California and expands our ability to deliver reliable, end-to-end solutions.”
The relationship between the two companies goes back nearly two decades. According to Mike Finston, Co-Founder of Total Petroleum Services, TPS was started “in a garage with a truck and a credit card,” and Northwest Pump provided one of the company’s first lines of credit during its early years. “What began as an early business relationship grew into a long-standing partnership built on trust, shared values, and a mutual commitment to serving customers the right way,” said Finston. “We’re proud of what we’ve built at TPS and the relationships we’ve earned over the years. Joining Northwest Pump allows us to continue serving our customers with the same dedication while expanding the capabilities and support available to them.”
Josh Ritter, Co-Founder of Total Petroleum Services, added, “In 2008, faced with an important decision about our future, Mike and I asked each other, ‘Do you think we can pull this off?’ We both had the same answer: ‘Let’s find out rather than spend the future wondering, “what if?”’”
Ritter continued, “Our philosophy was simple: take care of our customers, our families, and each other. Looking back over the past 18 years, I am amazed by what hard work, dedication, and family-oriented culture can accomplish. Those same values are what we see in the Northwest Pump family of companies, and we’re excited to become part of the team and watch the family continue to grow.”
Northwest Pump, which partnered with H.I.G. in 2024, operates a network of 26 branch locations across the western United States, serving thousands of customers with more than 500 employees. TPS marks Northwest Pump’s fifth acquisition since joining the H.I.G. portfolio. “Service is ultimately a people business, and that’s one of the things that stood out most about Total Petroleum Services,” Mathews added. “The TPS team created a company known for responsiveness, accountability, and strong customer relationships. We’re excited to continue that momentum and grow together.”
The transaction also marks the fourteenth successful transaction for Infinity Capital Partners across the petroleum equipment industry.
"Mike and Josh have spent nearly two decades building Total Petroleum Services into one of the most trusted names in petroleum equipment service across California and Arizona," added Jonathan Hampton, Vice President at Infinity Capital Partners. "Northwest Pump is the ideal partner, sharing TPS's commitment to people, quality, and best-in-class petroleum service. We're excited for the opportunities this creates for TPS's employees, customers, and the continued growth of the Northwest Pump platform."
