What A.R. North America, Inc does

A.R. North America, Inc. (ARNA) is the North American distribution arm of Italian pump manufacturer Annovi Reverberi S.p.A., distributing triplex plunger pumps, diaphragm pumps, electric pressure washers, motors, accessories, and rotary vane vacuum pumps through a B2B channel of qualified manufacturers, dealers and wholesale distributors. Founded in 1989 as a one-person operation in Fridley, MN, ARNA now operates from a 104,000 sq ft warehouse and headquarters facility and sells across the US, Canada, Mexico and Caribbean via authorized service dealers and OEM embedding relationships.

ARNA's core products are mechanical high-pressure pumps built on triplex piston and diaphragm technology using ceramic plungers, forged brass heads, zinc-aluminium connecting rods and NBR gaskets. The catalog spans more than 2,521 SKUs across triplex pumps (RS, JR, RC, XT, XM, RR, RK, JK, RG, RW, XW, SHP, RF, RTX, RTD, CR, RTP, RTJ, RTF, SHP, Specialty, Hydraulic), diaphragm pumps (low, medium, high pressure and polypropylene), AR Blue Clean consumer and professional electric pressure washers, Bolondi cleaning heads, Superex T-bolt clamps, motors and combos (Ravel), and Battioni Pagani rotary vane vacuum pumps. Target use cases include industrial and commercial pressure washing, car wash operations, agricultural spraying, fire fighting systems, and chemical handling applications.

The company runs an exclusively channel-based revenue model selling only to qualified manufacturers, dealers and wholesale distributors, with end users directed to service dealers. ARNA is privately held, family-managed (Jon Notch as CEO and Kyle Notch as President since 2013), and represents an independent division of Annovi Reverberi, which has held category leadership in diaphragm and plunger pumps for 65 years. The business model emphasizes depth of inventory, OEM embedment, and trade-show-led channel development over direct end-user marketing.
