Melotte Pumptechnology

What Melotte Pumptechnology does

Melotte Pumptechnology BV is a privately held Dutch manufacturer, founded in 1945 and headquartered in Maastricht, that designs and produces submersible borehole pumps (4" to 12", in 50Hz and 60Hz variants), matching submersible motors, and a set of proprietary well-system accessories. All design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in-house at the company's single Maastricht facility, including stator winding, copper-rotor-bar brazing, CNC machining, automated welding, and a 100% end-of-line endurance test on every pump unit. Its product portfolio centers on duty-point-optimized pumps, copper-rotor motors (4"-12"), and—since 2001—the proprietary MPT inline injection valves and MPT pilot control systems used to maintain well pressure in Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) projects. The company also distributes Franklin Electric submersible motors and EIM construction pumps under dealer agreements and offers NFO Sinus and SmartD frequency converters as motor-control accessories.

The company sells exclusively through a direct enterprise sales motion to industrial customers, water utilities, and project developers across multiple continents, with a multilingual website (Dutch, English, French, German) and direct phone/email contact. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each pump is engineered and quoted to a customer's specific duty point, which precludes catalog pricing. Service and maintenance—including repairs, planned revisions, renovations, and spare-parts supply—are performed at the Maastricht service center, and the company is explicitly stated to focus on reducing CO2 emissions through ATES / Cold Heat Storage (KWO) applications for heating and cooling of buildings. Customer segments span water utilities, industrial manufacturing, ATES/energy, fire protection, construction dewatering, and agricultural irrigation, with no individual customer logos or revenue figures publicly disclosed.
