Packo

What Packo does

Packo is a brand of Verder Liquids BV that designs, manufactures, and sells stainless steel centrifugal, rotary lobe, circumferential piston, and twin screw pumps, together with static and dynamic mixers, for hygienic and industrial process applications. Founded in 1975 in Belgium and initially focused on the dairy industry, Packo has supplied more than 350,000 pumps across food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotech, chemical, mining, water treatment, and OEM customers. Its core technical differentiation is an in-house electropolishing process combined with hand polishing for stainless steel surfaces, close-coupled modular construction on centrifugal pumps, and EHEDG, 3A, FDA, and EC1935/2004 certifications for hygienic design. Centrifugal pumps and mixers are built at the Diksmuide (Belgium) factory; rotary lobe and twin screw pumps are manufactured in South Korea.

Packo operates entirely through the Verder Liquids global sales and service organization, with over 20 offices in more than 27 countries, using an enterprise field-sales motion and quote-based, configured-to-order pricing. The brand was acquired by Verder Group in 2015, and in May 2021 Verder expanded the Packo portfolio by acquiring the Jabsco lobe pump product line from Xylem, adding a recognized brand and loyal customer base to its hygienic positive-displacement offering. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of configured pump systems and related technical consultation services, with no public pricing, no software/SaaS component, and no disclosed financial figures. Packo is a privately held subsidiary, and no funding events, executive team details, or standalone revenue figures are publicly available.

The portfolio serves food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, mining, water treatment, and OEM machine building customers with EHEDG, 3A, FDA, and EC1935/2004 certified hygienic performance.

Product overview

Packo is a manufacturer of sustainable and innovative hygienic stainless steel centrifugal, rotary lobe, and twin-screw pumps, along with circumferential piston pumps and static/dynamic mixers. The product portfolio is organized into two main categories: Centrifugal Pumps (including General Industrial Series, Sanitary Pump Series, Pharmaceutical Pump Series, and Mixing Technologies) and Positive Displacement Pumps (including Rotary Lobe Pumps, Circumferential Piston Pumps, and Twin Screw Pumps). All centrifugal pumps are manufactured in Belgium (Diksmuide), electropolished according to an in-house developed process, and configured to order. Rotary lobe and twin-screw pumps are manufactured in South Korea. In May 2021, Packo expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Jabsco lobe pump product line from Xylem, now sold under the Packo brand. The pumps serve food, pharmaceutical, chemical, dairy, and general industrial applications with certifications including EHEDG, 3A, FDA, and EC1935/2004.
