Our Company Mission

When our family first pioneered and settled the Oklahoma territory back in 1895, our “word” was a business guarantee. A guarantee of trust, pride, tradition. Many of our values are just as important today as they were back then. Hard work. Fairness. Honesty. They are not taken for granted.

The Burford Philosophy

Our traditional philosophy has not changed over time. At Burford, we’re still producing the best bakery equipment since my father Earl and I invented our first “twist tie” machine in 1961. We’ve built a corporation and a reputation on our values, and intend to keep it that way.

The Burford Promise

Practical Solutions through Innovative Technologies. That’s our promise and that’s what we live by in Maysville, Oklahoma. Our promise to continue to provide you with quality custom products coupled with individual attention, it's what we do.
