Pumping - Commercial & Industrial
Trends
Demand for pumps is tied to the broad macroeconomic environment since these products are used across numerous manufacturing sectors such as chemical, petroleum, utilities and water management industries.
High Performance
The pumping industry is driven by demands for higher efficiencies and integrated solutions where higher pump speeds translate into higher performance and a smaller, more economical pump assembly.
Industry Leadership
We are an industry leader in radial flux high speed motors, fire pump motors, VFDs, couplings, and mounted bearings used in the pumping industry. Our application knowledge spans over 90 years in delivering innovative solutions.
Solutions

Water purification and filtration is a vital part of the Water and Wastewater Industry. These plants filter water for use in commercial, industrial and residential water supplies. Availability of fresh water is tied to economic and population growth. Equipment in this sector operates 24/7 and dependability is critical to facility performance. The water and wastewater industry is highly regulated and plants must meet high water quality standards.

Segment Analysis
Industrial production index
Pumps are used in a variety of sectors, including mining and manufacturing; the industrial production index (IPI) measures the output of these sectors. Miners purchase industry products because they need to pump water and other chemicals out of mines, while manufacturers of a variety of products, including paper and chemicals, use pumps during production.
The energy sector uses pumps for the extraction of oil and natural gas. High crude oil prices boost the energy sector’s revenue, thereby resulting in more demand for pumps.
The industry generates a portion of revenue from the construction of utilities, as pumps are used to control the flow of liquids through water and sewage systems, which are found in all major towns and cities across the United States.
