National Pump Company was founded in 1969, started out primarily manufacturing pumps at a facility in Lubbock, Texas for the agricultural market. With high initial success in this area, the company quickly expanded its capabilities.
National soon outgrew the original facility and moved to a new factory in Peoria, Arizona. This move included construction of a new test lines of 4" and 12" with horsepower capabilities up to 350 HP.
It was at this time that National Pump Company exchanged hands and the legend of the Red Cadillac was born. For more on this little bit of history please check out our blog piece: The Legend of the Red Cadillac.
With the new facility NPC and continued success in terms of technology, quality and manufacturing, NPC was now supplying pumps to the municipal, industrial and petroleum markets.
The Peoria facility was quickly out grown prompting a need for a new state of the art factory which in 2008 was built in Glendale, Arizona.
The new facility at 35,000 square feet was considerably larger, allowing for expansion of machining capabilities and a much larger test stand.
Continued success soon drew the attention of major players in the pump industry and The Gorman Rupp Corporation acquired National Pump in 2008. National Pump was now part of the "pump People" family of Gorman Rupp Companies.
Under National Pump leadership and the blessing of the Gorman Rupp Corporation, further success quickly followed.
Further successes soon followed. The test stand was expanded in 2015 to allow for testing of the largest pump built by National at 30 inches. NSF complete pumps were approved in 2019. NSF material capibilites were added over the years and today national offers one of the largest available material choices in the pump industry.
Additionally, multiple new sizes were added to fill in any gaps in our hydraulic coverage range.
Today National Pump Company has come a long way since those early days in Texas and now is a major player in many markets within the world of pumping.
