COMPANY SUMMARY

Municipal Treatment Equipment (MTE) was founded in 1993 as a Process Equipment focused company specializing in custom Chemical Feed solutions. Closely thereafter we expanded into the Flow Control segment of the municipal water and wastewater treatment markets of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, in addition to working in the irrigation sector over the entire Southwest region. For over 30 years we have strived to not let anyone in our territory outwork us in customer service, technical field support, or product knowledge. The same MTE team members that answer the phone, take parts orders, and assist with design will oversee the bidding, managing your project, and provide field service—ensuring consistency, expertise, and a seamless experience.
