Lowara Pumps

What Lowara Pumps does

Lowara is a brand of pumping and circulating solutions operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), the global water technology company. Headquartered near Milan, Italy, with regional sales presence including Xylem UK's London office, Lowara designs and sells centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, multi-stage and self-priming pumps, split case pumps, vertical pumps, wet rotor circulators, and packaged pump systems (pressure boosting, wastewater and sewage, drainage and dewatering, fire protection). The portfolio is complemented by electronic pump control panels and variable-speed controllers, with HydrovarX intelligent control and the ecocirc XL high-efficiency wet rotor circulator positioned as flagship differentiators focused on low total cost of ownership, energy efficiency, durability, and ease of installation.

The business runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market targeting nine vertical segments — buildings and facilities, data centers, agriculture, general industry, food and beverage, OEM integration, aquaculture, energy and power, and oil and gas — with reference installations including the Burj Khalifa and Landmark Pinnacle at Canary Wharf. Distribution is delivered through Xylem's direct sales force, authorized distributors, and the Xylem e-commerce platform, supported by digital selection and specification tools (Xylem Solver, Pump Replacement Guide, BIM models, Spare Part Finder). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of pumps, drives, and packaged systems, typically on a quote-based B2B model, with no standalone revenue disclosure available given consolidation within Xylem's group reporting.

• Multi-Stage Pumps High-pressure pumps with multiple impeller stages for applications requiring increased head pressure, such as pressure boosting, boiler feed, and high-rise water supply.
• Self-Priming Pumps Pumps capable of priming themselves automatically, suitable for handling air-laden fluids without manual priming in water transfer and dewatering applications.
• Split Case & Double Suction Pumps Horizontal axis pumps with split casing design for high-flow applications with efficient hydraulic performance, used in large-scale water distribution and HVAC systems.
• Submersible Borehole Pumps Deep-well pumps designed for installation in boreholes, capable of handling high sand contamination in irrigation and water supply applications.
• Submersible Dewatering Pumps Portable or fixed pumps for ground and rainwater removal, handling clean or compromised water in drainage applications for construction and industrial sites.
• Submersible Wastewater Pumps Pumps designed for wastewater and sewage applications, capable of handling solids and contaminated fluids in municipal, commercial, and industrial settings.
• Vertical Pumps Tall configuration pumps for applications with space constraints, commonly used in industrial and municipal settings where horizontal footprint is limited.
• Wet Rotor Circulators Circulator pumps with wet rotor design for heating and cooling systems, offering energy efficiency for residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC applications.
• Water Supply Pressure Boosting Sets Complete pressure boosting systems for water supply applications, providing consistent water pressure in buildings and facilities including high-rise towers.
• Wastewater & Sewage Pump Systems Pre-engineered packaged systems for wastewater collection and sewage handling in residential, commercial, and municipal applications.
• Drainage & Dewatering Pump Systems Integrated systems for groundwater removal and surface water drainage in construction and industrial applications.
• Fire Protection Pump Systems Fire fighting pump systems designed for fire protection applications, meeting relevant safety standards for buildings and industrial facilities.
• Pump Control Panels Electronic control systems for managing pump operation, monitoring performance, and protecting equipment sold as standalone control solutions for pump installations.
• Speed Controllers Variable speed drives and controllers sold as standalone offerings for optimizing pump energy consumption and system performance.
• Hydrovar X Intelligent pump control system that extends pump lifecycle through advanced monitoring and variable speed operation, marketed as a featured standalone solution within the Lowara/Xylem portfolio.

Direct peers

• Grundfos: Danish global pump manufacturer and the closest head-to-head competitor to Lowara, with a comparable product mix spanning circulators, end-suction, submersible, and booster pumps across HVAC, water supply, and industrial markets. Both brands compete for the same specifier and contractor relationships, particularly in European commercial building services.
• Sulzer: Swiss pump and rotating equipment company with strong positions in industrial, water, and energy applications. Sulzer's pump portfolio overlaps substantially with Lowara's industrial, water supply, and wastewater offerings, particularly for process-grade applications.
• KSB: German manufacturer of centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, and packaged systems used in water supply, wastewater, and industrial process applications. KSB competes directly with Lowara's centrifugal, multi-stage, and wastewater pump ranges in municipal and industrial tenders.
• Calpeda: Another Italian-headquartered pump manufacturer with a broad range of centrifugal, submersible, and circulator pumps. Calpeda competes with Lowara in similar European commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications, often on price in mid-market tiers.
• Franklin Electric: US-based pump manufacturer with leading positions in submersible borehole pumps, water transfer, and fueling systems. Franklin Electric competes directly with Lowara's submersible borehole and agricultural irrigation pump lines, particularly in Americas and emerging markets.
• Pedrollo: Italian pump manufacturer offering centrifugal, submersible, and self-priming pumps for residential, agricultural, and industrial markets. Pedrollo is a direct domestic-country competitor to Lowara in Italy and increasingly across Southern Europe and emerging markets.
• Wilo: German pump specialist with a strong heritage in circulators, HVAC, and building services pumps. Wilo is a direct competitor to Lowara's wet-rotor circulators (ecocirc XL) and high-efficiency variable-speed offerings across European and global markets.

Broad incumbents

• Flowserve: US-listed global provider of pumps, valves, seals, and flow-control automation for power, oil & gas, and chemical industries. Flowserve overlaps with Lowara at the industrial process-pump tier but is oriented toward heavier-duty applications and broader rotating equipment.
• Pentair: Global water solutions company spanning residential, commercial, and pool/irrigation pumps along with filtration and treatment. Pentair competes with Lowara in residential/commercial booster pumps and water supply, though it is much broader in water treatment.

Regional players

• Ebara Corporation: Japanese pump manufacturer with globally distributed centrifugal, submersible, and process pumps. Ebara is a comparable pump technology peer but is geographically strongest in Asia, making it more of a regional than a direct head-to-head competitor to Lowara in Europe and the Americas.
