About Art Gomez

I’ve spent more than 35 years in the petroleum equipment industry, working across distribution, service, and retail fueling technology.I started my career in 1989 with Huddleston Equipment in Oakland, California, working in inside sales, parts, and warehouse operations. Shortly after, Huddleston was acquired by JOTCO Equipment, where I continued learning the business from the ground up.Over the years I’ve worked with several leading companies in the industry including Titan Rubber (now Petroleum Marketing Equipment), Petro West, and Commercial Petroleum Equipment (CPE). These roles gave me broad experience in equipment distribution, contractor support, and fueling system technologies during a time when the industry was rapidly evolving.In October 2004, I joined Northwest Pump, where I currently serve as Retail Solutions Product Manager. My focus is helping fuel retailers navigate new technologies, payment systems, and regulatory changes while finding practical solutions that improve site performance and reliability.Having worked in this industry since the late 1980s, I’ve seen the transition from independent distributors to today’s integrated fueling technology platforms. The experience has given me a strong understanding of both the technical side of the business and the long-term relationships that drive it.
