About ChampionX

ChampionX Corporation was a global provider of production chemistry, artificial lift systems, digital production technologies, and emissions monitoring solutions that helped operators produce oil and gas safely, efficiently, and responsibly.

The company's heritage traces through multiple predecessor businesses founded across different periods of the twentieth century, including Champion Chemicals, Harbison-Fischer, Norris Rods, and other technology companies that ultimately became part of the ChampionX portfolio.

In 2020, Apergy Corporation merged with the upstream energy business of Nalco Champion to create ChampionX Corporation. The combined company operated in more than 55 countries and delivered solutions spanning production chemistry, rod lift systems, electric submersible pumping, digital optimization software, and emissions monitoring technologies.
