What Pratissoli Pompe does

Pratissoli Pompe is an Italian manufacturer of high-pressure piston and plunger pumps, founded in 1947 by Leonida Pratissoli and now operating as a brand within Interpump Group S.p.A., the world's largest manufacturer of high-pressure pumps. The company specializes in very high-pressure technology, producing over 120 model variants capable of delivering pressures up to 1500 bar, flow rates up to 3000 L/min, and power ratings up to 887 kW. Its product portfolio is organized into three categories: plunger pumps for water applications (Serie 64-84), piston pumps for mud and slurry (used in horizontal directional drilling), and a complementary range of valves and accessories including safety valves, pressure regulators, and rotating nozzles. Nearly all mechanical components are manufactured in-house at the Reggio Emilia facility to ensure quality control.

The company targets industrial B2B customers across a horizontally diversified set of verticals including steel mills (descaling), desalination (reverse osmosis), waterblasting and construction demolition, food manufacturing sanitation, oil & gas equipment cleaning, sewer and drain cleaning, textile humidity control, waterjet cutting, PCB manufacturing, and industrial misting/cooling. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of pumps and accessories, distributed via a global sales network spanning over 70 countries and a dedicated B2B portal for registered enterprise customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated based on specifications.

Pratissoli's competitive positioning is built on 75+ years of accumulated engineering expertise, 500+ product certifications and patents, continuous R&D investment (3%+ of turnover in innovation, 8%+ in technology), and in-house manufacturing of nearly all mechanical components.
