What Patterson Pump Company does

Patterson Pump Company (DBA Patterson Pumps) is an industrial pump manufacturer founded in 1988 and based in Toccoa, Georgia, operating as a wholly-owned division of The Gorman-Rupp Company (NASDAQ: GERC). The company designs and supplies pumping systems across six core product categories: fire pumps, clean water pumps, wastewater pumps, flood control pumps, HVAC pumps, and plumbing systems. Its products serve municipal, commercial, and industrial end markets where reliable water handling is mission-critical, including fire suppression infrastructure, water distribution, wastewater treatment, flood management, and building climate control.

The product portfolio is industrial hardware with application-specific engineering for safety-critical and infrastructure use cases such as fire protection and flood control. Patterson Pump supports its installed base with a field service and parts operation, installation and operational maintenance manuals, certification documentation, and a published brochures library. An online Pump Selection Tool is offered as a digital pre-sales aid, and the website carries certification and helpful-links resources that align with the procurement workflows of engineering contractors and municipal buyers.

The business model is hardware sales executed through a field sales motion: domestic and international sales representatives are the primary customer interface, with customers directed via an online rep locator and a separate international contacts directory. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled quote-by-quote through representatives. Marketing relies on industry trade shows (WEFTEC, ASPE, GAWP), a corporate website, and social media. The company does not publish revenue, has no listed management team in the source data, and operates with 51-100 employees as a private subsidiary of a publicly traded parent.
