European Pump Services

What European Pump Services does

European Pump Services BV (EPS), founded in 1999 and headquartered in Oud-Gastel near the Rotterdam Europoort area, is a Dutch pump solutions provider serving industrial, offshore, and maritime customers in the Benelux and globally on a project basis. The company develops, sells, integrates, and maintains complex pump systems—including centrifugal, twin-screw, progressive cavity, multiphase boosting, cargo, and cryogenic pumps—drawing on its role as the exclusive Benelux distributor for ITT Goulds Pumps (since 2017), ITT Bornemann (since 2000), Apollo Gössnitz (since 2022), and Svanehøj, supplemented by its own EPS Twin Screw Pump 2500 developed in-house. EPS operates a proprietary test center capable of handling systems up to 5,000 m3/h and 1,000 kW and an in-house workshop, and pairs its equipment sales with turn-key on-site installation, condition monitoring, 24/7 emergency field service, and standardized maintenance plans (Standard/Premium/Excellence).

EPS generates revenue across four streams: (1) hardware sales of distributed and proprietary pump systems; (2) aftermarket parts and components (seals, bearings, impellers, upgrade kits); (3) service and maintenance contracts; and (4) project engineering and installation work for tank terminals, refineries, petrochemical plants, inland and short-sea shipping, offshore platforms, and emerging energy-transition applications involving LNG, LPG, ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and CO2. Pricing is quote-based; selected IoT add-ons such as the i-ALERT 2 vibration sensor are unit-priced at €200, while service plans are sold on annual subscription terms. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales with technically specialized account managers, supported by global travel-based service engineers and recent geographic build-out through new service hubs in Antwerp and Rotterdam Port. EPS holds VCA* and ISO 9001 certifications and employs approximately 35 people.

In January 2025, EPS was acquired by Danish pump manufacturer Svanehøj and now operates as Svanehøj Benelux, completing an ownership path that traces to ITT Inc.'s January 2024 acquisition of Svanehøj. EPS Belgium BVBA, a wholly-owned subsidiary, handles Belgian sales and services.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Grundfos: World's largest pump manufacturer with portfolio spanning domestic, commercial, and industrial pumps plus a strong service network. Comparable to EPS in industrial pump sales and service, though it is a much broader OEM rather than a specialty distributor/integrator.
• ITT Inc. Diversified industrial manufacturer with Motion Technologies, Industrial Process, and Connect & Control segments including ITT Goulds and ITT Bornemann – the very brands EPS distributes. EPS effectively functions as the Benelux channel of ITT's pump portfolio, making ITT a structural counterparty and benchmark for EPS's economics.
• Xylem: Large global water and industrial pump company with broad coverage across utility, commercial, and industrial segments. Overlaps with EPS through industrial water/chemical pumping solutions but operates at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• Weir Group: Engineering group focused on mining, oil & gas, and infrastructure flow-control solutions, including pump products and aftermarket services. Overlaps with EPS on oil & gas and industrial pump applications, especially where service and reliability are critical.

Direct peers

• SPX Flow: Provider of engineered pumps, mixers, and process equipment for food, chemical, and industrial markets. Comparable to EPS in distributing/integrating process pumps plus service offerings for industrial customers across multiple verticals.
• KSB: German pump and valve manufacturer with a global sales and service network spanning industrial, water, and energy customers. Comparable to EPS in offering a multi-brand pump portfolio, system integration, and aftermarket service across industrial and infrastructure verticals.
• DESMI: Danish pump specialist serving marine, offshore, and industrial markets with cargo pumps, fuel oil pumps, and related solutions. Highly comparable to EPS (and its new parent Svanehøj) given the shared Nordic/Danish maritime-and-offshore heritage and overlapping product lines in marine pumps.
• Flowserve: Global supplier of pumps, valves, seals, and related flow-control services with major exposure to oil & gas, chemical, and power industries. Direct comparable to EPS given its combination of engineered pump equipment, aftermarket service, and turnkey project capability.
• Sulzer: Global pump manufacturer and service provider with a strong installed base across industrial, oil & gas, and water markets, plus extensive aftermarket/service operations. Directly comparable to EPS as a full-scope pump equipment + service + turnkey provider serving refineries, terminals, and offshore customers.
• Allweiler (Ingersoll Rand): Specialist in industrial pumps (centrifugal, screw, and progressing cavity) for marine, oil & gas, chemical, and process markets. Closely comparable to EPS on positive-displacement pump distribution, integration, and service for harsh-duty applications.
