What Dickow Pump Company does

Dickow Pump Company, Inc. is a privately-held US industrial pump distributor and service provider headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. Since 1988 it has served as the exclusive NAFTA trading area distributor of Dickow Pumpen KG, a German family-owned pump manufacturer founded in 1910. The company's portfolio covers two main product families: sealless magnetic drive pumps (ANSI and API 685 process pumps, hot oil circulation pumps, side-channel, multistage centrifugal, vertical, turbine, and mag-drive gear configurations) and mechanically sealed pumps (API 610, process, side-channel, multistage, vertical, and tanker truck unloading). Core technology centers on a hermetically sealed magnetic coupling that transfers motor power to the pump through inner and outer magnets across a containment shell, eliminating the mechanical shaft seal — historically the dominant source of leaks in centrifugal pumps. Proprietary features include the patented Mag-Safe containment shell temperature monitor, silicon carbide slide bearings, hydraulically balanced thrust loads via a rear impeller design, internal fluid circulation for cooling the magnetic coupling, and secondary containment breach monitoring for hazardous fluids.

Revenue is generated through custom quotation-based sale of industrial pumps, aftermarket services (selection, installation supervision, start-up support, maintenance, repair, training), and replacement parts shipped within 24 hours from an Atlanta warehouse. The go-to-market is anchored on enterprise field sales executed through factory-trained specialists and an area-representative network covering Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Customer segments span chemical processing, oil/gas/petrochemical, manufacturing (plastics, shingle, composite board), thermal fluid and heat transfer, tank farms, energy and power generation, and marine/offshore environments. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ECOVADI sustainability, and ATEX for submersible applications, alongside API 610 and API 685 product compliance. The company has 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding history or M&A activity.
