SPP Pumps

What SPP Pumps does

SPP Pumps is a UK-headquartered manufacturer of centrifugal pumps and engineered pumping systems serving critical infrastructure applications including fire protection, energy and oil & gas, industrial water, transformer cooling, dewatering, process & chemical, and data centres. Founded in 1875 and headquartered in Coleford, Gloucestershire, the company operates from approximately 10 offices and service centres across the UK, US, France, Italy, Netherlands, Egypt, UAE, Thailand, and South Africa, with 251-500 employees globally. The product portfolio spans over 30 pump variants — including fire pumps (Multistage Multi-Outlet, Vertical Turbine, Split Case, Vertical Inline), API 610-compliant process pumps, dewatering pumps (SPP XF, ACE, Q-Series, HYDRAFLOW), transformer cooling pumps (AT Inline and AT Elbow ranges), submersible borehole pumps (via Pleuger Industries partnership), and pre-packaged pump houses — many of which hold industry-first certifications (first LPCB fire pump approval; first ISO/TS 29001 certification; largest UL-listed horizontal fire pump at 8,000 USgpm).

SPP generates revenue through custom-engineered made-to-order pump systems (over 60% of sales), standardised product ranges, and an aftermarket service division providing field service, planned maintenance, spares, and regional repair centres. Pricing is quote-based for custom-engineered products with no public pricing lists, and the company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales complemented by a global network of agents and distributors for specific product lines. Over 70% of trade is conducted outside the UK, reflecting established international execution capability.

The company is a privately held subsidiary of Indian engineering conglomerate Kirloskar Brothers Limited, which acquired the business as part of its fluid management portfolio. US operations are conducted through wholly-owned subsidiary SyncroFlo, which specialises in pre-packaged booster sets and HVAC systems for the data centre market. The Process & Chemical division operates via a strategic partnership with Dutch pump manufacturer Rodelta Pumps. In FY2025, SPP reported turnover of £108.3 million and pre-tax profit of £10.9 million, both down year-on-year, which management attributed to market challenges and a Service sector slowdown.
