What Caprari does

Caprari S.p.A. is an Italian designer, manufacturer, and distributor of centrifugal pumps, submersible motors, and integrated water-cycle systems, headquartered in Modena, Italy, and founded in 1945. The company organizes its offering into four product families — borehole pumps and motors (4"-22"), surface pumps (centrifugal, multistage, normalized, and firefighting variants), sewage pumps and systems (drainage, aeration, mixing, and tank cleaning), and control and monitoring systems — covering irrigation, municipal waterworks, wastewater treatment, infrastructure, industrial, and fire-protection applications. Caprari operates a vertically integrated manufacturing model with in-house surface motor production up to 3000 kW and across IE2-IE5 efficiency classes, supported by product certifications including EN12259-12 and UL448 for firefighting pumps.

Caprari monetizes through direct B2B sales of capital equipment, spare parts, and aftermarket services via twelve-plus wholly-owned international branches (UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Kenya, Australia, China, Russia) and the iPump digital customer portal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based. In 2021 the company received a growth investment led by Ambienta, a sustainability-focused private equity firm, and in 2023 it acquired Bergomi Trading and Linea Ricambi to consolidate its aftermarket and spare-parts business. The company is owned within the Wateralia Group and competes with global pump majors and other Italian OEMs such as Calpeda (its group sibling).
