The Gorman-Rupp Company

What The Gorman-Rupp Company does

The Gorman-Rupp Company (NYSE: GRC) is a Mansfield, Ohio-based manufacturer of pumps and pumping systems founded in 1933, operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Gorman-Rupp Pumps, Patterson, Gorman-Rupp International, Gorman-Rupp Industries, Gorman-Rupp Canada, and AMT. The company produces a portfolio of nearly 3,000 pump models spanning self-priming centrifugal pumps (Super T Series, Ultra V Series with UltraMate, Super U Series, 80 Series, 10 Series, 6400 Series), priming-assisted dry prime pumps (Prime Aire, Prime Aire Plus, ValuPrime, Roto-Prime, Reliaprime), submersible pumps (SF/S/SM/SE/SH Series, over 400 models), standard centrifugal pumps (6400/6500/50/60), rotary gear positive displacement pumps, and hydraulic piston/diaphragm pumps (HSK SludgeKat, D, HS, HO Series). Proprietary technology includes the patent-pending Eradicator and Eradicator Plus solids management systems with self-cleaning wearplate and lacerating tooth designs, an exclusive double-floating self-aligning oil-lubricated cartridge seal, removable rotating assemblies enabling in-field maintenance without disturbing piping, and external shimless cover plate adjustment that doubles impeller/wearplate life. The company also packages complete systems such as ReliaSource lift stations (above and below-ground) and pressure booster stations.

The Gorman-Rupp Company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of pumps and pumping systems across municipal water/wastewater, industrial, construction, petroleum, mining, fire protection, agricultural, and OEM markets, complemented by parts sales, service, and a leasing program managed by Horizon Keystone Financial for purchases up to $100,000. Go-to-market is predominantly channel-mediated through a worldwide factory-trained distributor network plus rental houses, with regional direct engagement in North America, Europe (Netherlands, Germany), and Africa. Customer references skew toward municipal and government buyers (e.g., Cumberland-Franklin JMA, Gainesville GA DWR, City of Shelby OH, Lincoln County NC, Henry County Water Authority, Quincy Veterans' Home) alongside industrial users such as Ken's Foods and Oconee County Quarry. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and emphasizes operational metrics such as 97% of parts orders shipping within 24 hours and warranties up to 60 months on complete packages. Q1 2026 delivered record net sales of $176.6 million (up 7.7% YoY) and record net income of $17.8 million, with a backlog of $247.9 million, and the company has paid 305 consecutive quarterly dividends over 56 years.
