Homa Pumpenfabrik

What Homa Pumpenfabrik does

HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of submersible pumps, lifting stations, mixers, and pump controls, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, Germany. The company sells under two divisions: Industry and Wastewater Technology (submersible sewage pumps, stainless steel pumps, cutter and chopper pumps such as the Alligator OC series, propeller pumps, submersible mixers, tank cleaning systems, pump chambers, controls, and accessories) and Building Technology (drainage pumps, lifting and fecal lifting stations, self-priming and deep well pumps, and home water units). Technical differentiation rests on proprietary hydraulic engineering — notably the Alligator self-cleaning semi-open impeller, EffTec optimized hydraulics that reduced maintenance interventions by 95% in a major SBR wastewater plant, and the ASC cutter system registered as a German utility model — complemented by digital specification tools (HOP.Sel 6 pump selection software, BIM/CAD portal, HOMA Cloud customer portal).

The company serves industrial, municipal, and commercial customers across at least ten vertical segments including municipal water and wastewater, food and beverage, chemical/pharmaceutical/cosmetics, mining, marine, agriculture and biogas, building technology, energy, infrastructure, and heavy industry. Go-to-market combines direct field sales through regional offices in Germany with a worldwide distribution and service network in over 60 countries, plus authorized contract workshops in Germany and Austria. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of pumps, lifting stations, and spare parts, supplemented by rental pumps (for example, flood-response rental fleets), factory repair services, maintenance contracts, and digital services. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public price lists; standardized payment terms are not disclosed. Recent strategic activity has centered on geographic expansion via the EKKI HOMA joint venture into India (January 2026), digital ecosystem investments in BIM and pump selection software, and independent performance validation through TU Berlin (December 2025) and TÜV Rheinland recertification (November 2025).
