Sulzer Phases Out Pumpex Brand Name
Pumpex has been a part of Sulzer since 2011. Sulzer has formed a new business segment
called Mining and Construction in 2016. This business segment will include all Sulzer
dewatering activities worldwide. All product brand names currently used in this area will be
terminated during 2016 in order to create one strong Sulzer brand for all dewatering
products.
As a result, the Pumpex brand name will be phased out during 2016. The high quality
Pumpex products will be available under the Sulzer brand. Replacement pumps, spare parts,
and service for Pumpex pumps will be available through the Sulzer sales organization.
Pumpex, founded in 1968, is a renowned brand in the dewatering market, known for its high
quality submersible pumps. There is a remarkable installed Pumpex base in over 70 countries.
Sulzer's offering to the mining and construction industry is one of the most comprehensive
product portfolios on the market.
Sulzer, headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, since 1834, specializes in pumping solutions, rotating
equipment maintenance and services as well as separation, reaction, and mixing technology. Sulzer designs,
develops and supplies pumping solutions and related equipment worldwide. Intensive research and development
in fluid dynamics, process-oriented products, and special materials as well as reliable service solutions help the
company maintain its leading position in its focus market segments. The company creates reliable and
sustainable solutions for its key markets: oil and gas, power, and water (including pulp and paper). Sulzer serves
customers around the world through a network of over 170 production and service sites and has a strong footprint
