Federal Pump Corp.

What Federal Pump Corp. does

Federal Pump Corp. is a Brooklyn, NY-based designer and manufacturer of pumps and packaged pumping systems, founded in 1927 and operating primarily in New York City's five boroughs and the Tri-State Region with 11-50 employees. The company's core product portfolio spans end suction, in-line, horizontal splitcase, vertical multistage, sump, and sewage pumps, alongside packaged systems including duplex condensate return units, duplex boiler feed units, prepackaged duplex sump/sewage systems, and domestic water booster systems with constant or variable speed designs. Technical differentiators include a pressure manifold controller that eliminates roof-tank maintenance access, vertical multistage pump technology claiming 25-50% higher hydraulic efficiency in lower-flow high-pressure applications, and UL 508A-listed control panels paired with WEG or Schneider VFDs.

The company sells through a direct sales motion via phone and website inquiry, serving commercial, industrial, municipal, and residential customers with a particularly strong specification presence in NYC low-rise buildings. The customer roster includes iconic institutions such as the World Trade Center, United Nations, Empire State Building, U.S. Capitol, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Smithsonian, MoMA Tower, and multiple Ivy League universities (Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Cornell). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue model is one-time equipment sale rather than recurring service contracts.

Federal Pump operated under family ownership for nearly 90 years until 2017, when assets were sold to new ownership. In August 2025, the company was acquired by Penn Pump, continuing to operate under the Federal Pump brand as part of the Penn Pump brand family. The company is privately held with no disclosed venture, private equity, or public shareholders, and operates from a single headquarters at 929 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208.
