Barber-Nichols was founded in 1966 by Bob Barber and Ken Nichols as turbomachinery engineering company located in Arvada, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The company manufactures vacuum jacketed extended shaft pumps, circulators, blowers, and compressors for use in cryogenic systems to optimize system performance. Since 1976 when Barber-Nichols designed and manufactured its first cryogenic pump, these custom-manufactured and engineered products have served broad range of demanding and sensitive applications. Barber-Nichols cryogenic pumps are used in physics research applications including CERN ATLAS detector pumping liquid helium coolant through superconducting magnetic coils. The company provides cryogenic pumping solutions for quantum computing systems requiring liquid nitrogen and liquid helium circulation at ultra-low temperatures. Barber-Nichols serves quantum computing manufacturers, physics research facilities, and cryogenic system providers requiring specialized pumps for dilution refrigerators and quantum processor cooling infrastructure.
