What NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme does

NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme is a German manufacturer of positive displacement pumps, headquartered in Waldkraiburg and operating as a business unit of the 150+ year-old NETZSCH Group. The company produces approximately 75,000 pumps per year across four core product families: NEMO® progressing cavity pumps, TORNADO® rotary lobe pumps, NOTOS® multi screw pumps, and PERIPRO® peristaltic (hose) pumps, complemented by grinding systems, dosing & emptying solutions, and accessories. Its products target complex and demanding fluid-handling applications—corrosive, viscous, abrasive, hygienic, or shear-sensitive media—where standard centrifugal pumps fail.

The company serves seven primary verticals: Environment & Energy, Chemical/Pulp & Paper, Food & Pharmaceuticals, Mining, Oil & Gas (upstream and mid/downstream), and the more recent Battery manufacturing segment. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through a global network of 210 representatives with direct application consulting, supported by technical seminars at the Waldkraiburg facility, trade-show participation (SMM, FOODPRO), localized websites in 15+ languages, and dedicated regional operations such as the Australia/NZ center established in 2011. Notable technical differentiators include magnetically coupled NEMO® variants that eliminate mechanical seals, reducing maintenance and enabling higher-temperature/chemical-resistance applications.

NETZSCH generates revenue through two streams: hardware sales of pump systems and recurring spare parts, service, commissioning, modernization and technical training. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting engineered-to-order industrial sales rather than standardized catalog pricing. The company is privately held within the NETZSCH Group, holds ISO 14001 certification since 2015, and was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal in 2025, positioning it competitively in ESG-conscious European industrial procurement.
