Pompe Garbarino

What Pompe Garbarino does

Italian family-owned Pompe Garbarino S.p.A., headquartered in Acqui Terme (Alessandria), has manufactured centrifugal and positive displacement pumps since the early 1930s, serving shipbuilders, navies, and industrial process customers globally. The portfolio spans 18+ pump families — including EN 733 standard centrifugal pumps (MU), vertical in-line pumps (MU-L, MU-LDS), recessed impeller torque flow pumps (MCA), vertical line-shaft pumps (VS), main engine lubrication pumps (VL), ISO 2858/5199 chemical pumps (CN), diathermic oil circulation pumps (ZN), multistage pumps (G), the high-pressure GH series to 85 bar / 850m head, side channel (BT), self-priming (AD), naval fire-fighting pumps (MM), portable fire pumps (MU-MPF), gear pumps (IN/INML), hollow oscillating disk pumps (P), and daily bilge piston pumps (SWL). Materials range from cast iron and bronze through martensitic/austenitic stainless steels to Duplex/Superduplex and special alloys (Monel, Hastelloy, Alloy 20, Incoloy 825). The firm holds NATO military certifications (MIL STD 167-1, 740-1/740-2, MIL S-901 D), AQAP 2110, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2004, and type approvals from RINA, ABS, Russian River Register, and BKI.

The company sells through a hybrid model: direct enterprise engagement with major shipyards (Fincantieri, Chantiers de l'Atlantique, Damen Naval, ST Marine, PT PAL, Navantia, Royal IHC, Seajacks, Baku Shipyard), navies (Italian Navy since the 1950s and 32+ foreign navies), EPC contractors (Metito Overseas, Fisia Italimpianti, Veolia, Idroconsulting, Orascom, Alghanim International, Boustead Salcon), and industrial end customers (Saudi Aramco, EuroChem, Petrobras, Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company, CERN) — combined with a global agent network (Wise Marine, Magna Mare, Roodhart Marine & Offshore Services, Dialog-Technika, M&O Partners, OMT International, Fuglesangs) for local market coverage and after-sales support. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no public list pricing; revenue is generated primarily through new-equipment supply contracts, supplemented by an aftermarket spare-parts and service stream that is growing in its own right.

Revenue has compounded steadily at double-digit rates in most reported years — +11% (2008), +12% (2009), +30% (2014), +14% (2015), +32.4% (2018), +23.5% (2019 to ~EUR 40M), +19% (2022), +20% (2023), and +18% (2025, an all-time record). Order intake has spiked even higher in peak years (+43% in 2013, +29% in 2022, +25.4% in 2024). The firm is privately held by the Garbarino family with Carlo Garbarino as Chairman and Paolo Garbarino listed as founder; no external institutional ownership is disclosed. Manufacturing is concentrated at the Acqui Terme facility (headcount 51–100) with a 480 kW photovoltaic installation offsetting over 260 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
