What Leistritz Pump Technology does

Leistritz Pumpen GmbH, operating as Leistritz Pump Technology, is a Nuremberg-based German manufacturer of screw pumps (Schraubenspindelpumpen) and pump systems founded in 1924. The company designs and produces two-, three-, and five-spindle positive displacement pumps under product families including FLEXCORE (with patented exchangeable cartridge technology), the L2-L5 series, multiphase pumps for oil & gas applications, fuel systems for automotive use, hygienic pumps for food/beverage/pharma, and the COOLFLOW thermal management pump for electric vehicles. Core components (spindles and housings) are manufactured in-house in Germany, with a modular 4x90° rotatable housing system replacing over 30 conventional variants.

The company serves enterprise customers across oil & gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), automotive, shipbuilding/marine, chemical/petrochemical, power generation, and hygienic process industries globally through wholly-owned subsidiaries in the USA, China, Singapore, Dubai, India, and Italy, supplemented by a 2022 international service alliance with KSB. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-quoted hardware sales of complex engineered pump systems, with a growing service and maintenance stream. Energy transition relevance is expanding via the Multifuel Pump (biofuels, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen LOHC) launched in 2025 and EV-focused COOLFLOW.

The business is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the privately-held Leistritz AG conglomerate (which also includes turbine, extrusion, and production technology divisions), with Markus Schwarte serving as Managing Director of the pump subsidiary. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 certifications and is an EHEDG member, reflecting quality, environmental, safety, and hygienic design compliance positions across its enterprise customer base.
