What Micropump does

Micropump, Inc. is a US-based specialty manufacturer of seal-less, positive-displacement magnetically-driven gear pumps and complementary electromagnetic drive systems, founded in 1960 in Vancouver, Washington. The company designs and produces external gear pumps (GA, GAH, GB, GC, GD, GJ, GJR, GAF, GLH, GMH, GNH series), centrifugal pumps (CA series), and a full drive portfolio including AC drives, DC drives, air motors, and the integrated EagleDrive electromagnetic drive platform, all leveraging magnetic coupling to eliminate dynamic shaft seals and deliver leak-free, pulseless flow for low-flow precision applications. Proprietary technologies include the patented suction shoe pressure-loaded design for self-compensating wear and high volumetric efficiency, and the integrated pump-motor EagleDrive architecture with no moving parts in the drive train.

Micropump's business model is hardware sales of configure-to-order and custom OEM pump and drive solutions, priced on a quote basis rather than published list pricing. Revenue is generated through a hybrid go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales with application engineering support for complex OEM design-ins, plus a global distributor network covering North America (Burt Process Equipment, PFC Equipment, Ryan Herco, Texas Process Equipment), EMEA (AxFlow, Michael Smith Engineers, Techma), and Asia Pacific (Grande Machinery, Multi-Control, Qingdao Spark, Revodix, Shanghai Bibo, Kelair Pumps Australia). The company serves a horizontally diversified set of verticals including printing (digital ceramic tile and textile ink circulation), medical (continuous hemodialysis equipment), transportation (EV Level 3/4 fast-charging liquid cooling), energy (fuel cell fluid handling), industrial (SCR urea injection, pipeline sampling, pulp and paper bleaching, refrigerant recovery, mechanical seal flush), botanical extraction, analytical equipment, and severe duty abrasive applications, with aerospace references including the International Space Station, Air Force One, and Mars Rover programs.

Since August 2023, Micropump has operated as part of CEME Group (alongside sister brand PROCON) following its prior tenure under IDEX Health and Science. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and supports CE, ATEX, UKEX, UKCA, BAA, and DFARS compliance documentation, operates a 59,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Camas, Washington, and holds over 35 patents. Revenue, ownership structure beyond the CEME Group parent relationship, and financial details are not publicly disclosed.
