American-Marsh Pumps, one of the oldestpump lines in America, are pump productssteeped in heritage. Since 1873, the American-Marsh line of pumps has withstood the test oftime. During the last 130 years, over 100 vari-eties of pumps have been designed and built.From steam pumps to centrifugal pumps,

American-Marsh pumps have been built tomeet the ever changing requirements of society.Over the last century through continuous prod-uct development, more American-Marsh mod-els have been retired than most other pump

manufacturers have ever produced. Hundredsof thousands of pumps have been made, alldesigned for longevity, allowing many of themto continue servicing customers over 50 years.

All of our pumps have three superior charac-teristics; Design, Performance, and Durability.Our engineering department, which includes anin-house pattern shop, designs each pump sothat installation and maintenance is easy. Ourperformances are engineered to meet or beatthe competition in each category. For 130

years, American-Marsh Pumps products have

130 Years of Pump Manufacturing

provided cost effective solutions by building

pumps to last. Durability by design is always themost cost effective solution. From engineeringand design to final assembly, experienced peoplecontrol each step of the manufacturing process

with quality control inspections performed ateach step. All pumps shafts are heat straight-ened. All impellers are computer balanced.Pump testing is done in our new state of the arttest facility. All of these factors ensure youreceive consistent quality product every time.

American-Marsh Pumps has provided quality

pump products for over 130 years. AtAmerican-Marsh Pumps, we know that long lifeand superior performance are the keys to satis-fied customers. By understanding your needs,

we can design products that meet those needs.Our product family reflects years of customerinput, product upgrades, redesign and newproduct development, all focused on meetingand exceeding your expectations.
