Gruppo Aturia

What Gruppo Aturia does

Gruppo Aturia S.p.A. is an Italian heavy-duty pump manufacturer founded in 1927 (with predecessor brands dating to 1890) and headquartered in Gessate, Milano. The company designs, manufactures, and tests centrifugal and positive displacement pumps for four primary end markets: Oil & Gas (FINDER division, API 610/685/676 compliant process and seal-less magnetic drive pumps), Fire-Fighting (Audoli & Bertola division, FM Approved vertical turbine and horizontal split-case fire pumps since 1983), Industry (ROTOS division, centrifugal and magnetic drive pumps for power generation, chemical, pharma, steel mills, and marine), and Water (Aturia division, vertical turbine, split-case, multistage, and submersible pumps for municipalities, irrigation, and treatment). Manufacturing is conducted across four Italian plants — Gessate (20,000 m² headquarters), Merate (7,000 m², main production hub with test benches), Taglio di Po (5,000 m², magnetic drive seal-less pump facility established 2005), and San Mauro Torinese (Aris Chiappa division).

The company's technical platform rests on over 130 years of integrated heritage across seven acquired pump manufacturers, proprietary submersible motor technology patented in 1946, API 685 magnetic drive seal-less pump designs for hazardous services, and large-scale in-house testing capability up to 4 MW (electric) and 2.5 MW (diesel) with flow rates to 50,000 m³/h and remote testing. Engineering-to-Order (ETO) delivery is the dominant model, producing tailormade skids with drivers, seal systems, instrumentation, and insulation compliant with end-user requirements and the latest API editions.

Gruppo Aturia generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of custom-engineered pump equipment and skid-mounted systems, supplemented by aftermarket services covering spare parts, installation supervision, commissioning, repair, maintenance, and training. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with sales executed through a direct enterprise sales force engaging major Oil & Gas end users, municipalities, power generators, OEMs, EPC contractors, and system integrators globally. Notable customer references include the MOSE Venice flood barrier (118 pumps), Italian PNRR Cavaliera Pumping Station, Egyptian National Irrigation Authority (88 pumps), CERN, Network Rail Severn Tunnel, Tempa Rossa Oil Field, and a Kazakhstan refinery. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WPIL Limited, an international conglomerate operating with 5,000+ employees globally, and has no public listing or disclosed venture financing.
