PRODUCTION

Pump Testing Rig

The company sub-contracts out cast iron and bronze castings to local foundries, and the machine work to selected local engineering firms. Finished machined components are brought into stock and assembled as required at our Willowvale factory, into bare shaft pumps and pump sets.

Over 70 pump types are locally produced. We have a capability of manufacturing over 100 pumps per month on average.

As our pumps have a large degree of standardisation, some components are stocked as sub-assemblies. This allows us to maximise our utilisation of components when producing the wide range of pumps needed on time.
