What ITT Bornemann does

ITT Bornemann GmbH is a German-engineered positive displacement pump brand and wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT), headquartered in Obernkirchen, Germany and tracing its heritage to 1853. The business is centered on twin screw pump technology and multiphase boosting systems, with a self-positioned identity as the 'Home of the Twin Screw Pump.' Its product portfolio comprises the SLW Single Volute Twin Screw Pump (designed for hermetically sealed service in hazardous atmospheres with external or internal bearings), the SLH-5G Hygienic Pump Series (integrating pumping and clean-in-place (CIP) functionality for food, pharmaceutical, and sanitary applications), multiphase boosting pumps for offshore, heavy crude, thermal, wet gas compression, and conventional multiphase service, and ICM magnetic drive process pumps developed for ITT Goulds Pumps with an optional redundant secondary containment system engineered at the German facility.

The company serves four primary customer verticals: Multiphase Energy (offshore oil & gas, heavy crude, thermal operations, wet gas compression), Liquid Energy (tank storage and cargo applications), Industrial (chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, electronics), and Hygienic (food and beverage, sanitary processing). A secondary 'Energy Evolution' vertical targets Battery Value Chain, Hydrogen & Ammonia, Carbon Emission Reduction, LNG, and Biofuels, extending the company's fluid-handling expertise into adjacent energy-transition applications. Sales are predominantly project-based and enterprise-directed at large oil & gas, chemical, and industrial customers.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (pump systems, spare and wear parts) and professional services (in-house repair, on-site service, technical training, and OEM-quality spare parts with overnight delivery within Germany). Distribution combines direct manufacturer sales with a global network of authorized service providers and 24/7 specialist on-site service. Commercial content is delivered in five languages (English, Chinese, German, Russian, Spanish) through a B2B website featuring brochures, certificates, case studies, newsletter signups, and industry events. Pricing is quotation-based, custom-configured for each application, and typically delivered under multi-year contracts.
