What Adam Pumps does

Adam Pumps is a Belgian industrial services company founded in 2003 by Bernard Adam and headquartered in Andrimont, in the province of Liège. The company specializes in the maintenance, repair, and reverse engineering of industrial pumps for enterprise clients across energy (including nuclear, coal, combined cycle, and pumped storage), pharmaceuticals, steel, infrastructure, food, chemical, and general transformation industries. Its service portfolio spans predictive, preventive, and corrective on-site maintenance delivered by nine mobile teams, workshop-based repairs, reverse engineering of spare parts using 3D scanning and CNC machining, installation analysis and engineering studies, and technical shutdown management.

The core technical platform is a 3000 m² workshop equipped with 15T lifting capacity, CNC lathes (up to Ø1700, L4500), a vertical CNC lathe, CNC milling, conventional lathes, ultrasonic cleaning, automatic and conventional sandblasting, ceramic and polyurethane coating, a 100T press, dynamic balancing (3T), and an ISO 9906-compliant hydraulic test bench rated at 3000 m³/h and 200 kW. A 3D scanning arm acquired in June 2022 supports in-house reproduction of discontinued or unavailable pump components in coordination with a foundry partner. The company is VCA-certified for on-site contractor safety and is positioned as an independent service provider not affiliated with any specific pump OEM.

Adam Pumps generates revenue through quote-based professional services and project work (maintenance contracts, emergency repairs, shutdown management, reverse engineering, and machining) sold directly to industrial customers in Belgium and selectively across Europe. Pricing is per-project, customized to pump type and repair complexity, with multi-year service contracts available. The company operates as a privately held, founder-led business with no external investment, employs approximately 20-25 staff, and reports experience with more than 100 pump brands.
