Denver Industrial Pumps

What Denver Industrial Pumps does

Denver Industrial Pumps is a privately-held industrial pump distributor and service provider headquartered in Golden, Colorado, with a second office in Casper, Wyoming. Founded in 1987, the company sells, services, repairs, and fabricates pumps and related process equipment from leading manufacturers including Grundfos, Gorman Rupp, Goulds, ABB, Wilden, Seepex, and Flowserve. It serves end users, contractors, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across the Rocky Mountain region, covering Colorado and Wyoming directly and providing phone-based coverage to Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska.

The product portfolio spans centrifugal, positive displacement, submersible, slurry, sanitary, and chemical transfer pumps; mixers, heat exchangers, and process equipment; motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and controls; valves, actuators, sealing solutions, industrial lubricants, and coatings. Beyond product distribution, Denver Industrial Pumps operates a full-service repair shop, a mechanical seal repair center, custom fabrication services (baseplates, pump carts, constant pressure systems), engineered packaged systems (pressure booster systems, reverse osmosis, vapor recovery, salt water injection), and onsite services including installation, alignment, retrofits, and preventative maintenance. Technical capabilities include integration with SCADA systems, PLC/HMI controls, VFDs, and IIoT sensor-based monitoring for predictive maintenance.

The business model combines product resale (one-time sales of pumps, parts, motors, drives, controls, and accessories), professional services (repair, fabrication, application engineering, training), and engineered packaged system sales, all quote-based. The go-to-market is hybrid: factory-trained outside field sales representatives cover the Colorado and Wyoming territories while inside sales handle inbound inquiries, phone orders, and quotes. Customers span primary verticals including mining, petroleum/oil and gas, and water/wastewater, with secondary exposure to commercial buildings, food processing/pharmaceutical, OEM, and microelectronics segments. Notable enterprise customers include Condor (Utz), Sheraton Hotel Denver Downtown, and Coors Field.
