IOWA PUMP WORKS

What IOWA PUMP WORKS does

Iowa Pump Works, operating under the trade name Midwest Pump Works, is a pump sales, service, and consulting company serving municipalities, industrial facilities, and construction projects across the Midwest. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa, the company provides water and wastewater pumping solutions across a seven-state/region footprint spanning Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, operating from six offices in Green Bay (WI); Dundas, Menahga, and Palisade (MN); Ankeny (IA); and Louisville (NE). It employs an estimated 11–50 people.

The company's offering combines the resale of OEM pump equipment — including Environment One (E/One), Grundfos, and Sulzer brands — with a broad field-service portfolio delivered by factory-trained technicians: pump repair, motor repair, control panel repair, hydraulic troubleshooting, system installations, routine preventative maintenance, full pump rebuilds, lift station service checks, and 24/7 emergency response. It also supplies equipment across the full wastewater treatment process, including screens, grit removal, odor control, biological treatment, aeration, sedimentation, UV disinfection, solids handling, slide gates, and valves, plus aftermarket parts and calibration/validation services.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: one-time equipment/pump sales, professional services (repair, maintenance, and emergency response), and aftermarket parts/hardware sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is a direct field-sales model built around on-site technicians, supported by the company website, direct phone lines, and referrals through the United Flow Technologies (UFT) partner network. Iowa Pump Works is a subsidiary of UFT, a platform company of private equity firm H.I.G. Capital that comprises 20+ water and wastewater companies. Jerry Turnbull serves as President.
