Our History
Cochrane Pump Zimbabwe was formed in 1983 to manufacture and market pumps in Zimbabwe and surrounding territories.
Initially a joint venture between Cochrane Holdings of Harare, Zimbabwe and Stork NV of Holland, Cochrane Stork Zimbabwe soon became the leading manufacturer of pumps. When Stork sold their pumping interests to Johnson Pump of Sweden, we became Johnson Pump Zimbabwe and, more recently, Cochrane Pump Zimbabwe (Pvt.) Ltd.
