What Griswold does
Griswold is an industrial centrifugal pump manufacturer with over 70 years of operating history, headquartered in Grand Terrace, California. The company designs and produces rotodynamic centrifugal pumps sold primarily under the 811 ANSI Series (ASME B73.1 compliant), 811SP self-priming, 811CC close-coupled, 850 Series, H Series, and E/F/G Series product lines. Core technology centers on ANSI-standard end-suction centrifugal pumps, self-priming variants capable of lifting water up to 25 feet, and a Hydraulic Institute PTLAP-certified in-house test facility supporting automated performance and vibration testing. Products are supported by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing operations and a 5-year warranty on ANSI pumps.
Griswold sells through a B2B model combining an authorized global distributor network (with a Distributor Portal and Distributor Locator) and digital self-service tools including the CHOICE Online Pump Selection Tool and Advanced Pump Selection platform, under which customers request quotes rather than transact at listed prices. The customer base spans six verticals: chemical process, oil & gas, energy, general industrial, mining, and water, with a named reference installation at the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) on Maui. The company is privately held as a brand within PSG (Pump Solutions Group), itself a subsidiary of Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV), and operates alongside sister PSG brands such as Blackmer, Wilden, Almatec, and Mouvex under shared corporate infrastructure.
