Vacuum Pump Systems

What Vacuum Pump Systems does

Vacuum Pump Systems, Inc. (VPS) is a privately held industrial equipment distributor and service provider founded in 1988 and headquartered in Talmo, Georgia, within the region commonly referred to as the 'Poultry Capital of the World.' The company specializes in liquid ring vacuum pumps — rotating positive-displacement machines that use water or compatible process liquids as sealant to generate process vacuum in industrial environments. Its portfolio spans new pumps, rebuilt pumps, individual parts (rotors, cones, manifolds, separators, seals, bearings), and complete turnkey packages combining motors, manifolds, base frames, and seal-water kits.

VPS operates as an authorized distributor for three OEMs: Vooner Flogard Corporation (Flogard line with patented self-aligning removable bearing carriers), Dekker Vacuum Technologies (Titan high-efficiency, VMax oil-sealed with VFD, Aquaseal, and Duravane rotary vane), and NES Company (NL Series drop-in replacements for legacy Nash CL-Series systems). Beyond distribution, the company runs an in-shop repair and rebuild operation in which customers ship pumps for disassembly, assessment, and restoration with a one-year warranty.

The revenue model combines one-time hardware sales (new and rebuilt pumps, parts, complete packages) with professional repair services, all transacted via custom quotes rather than published pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, using phone consultation (770-532-0260), email ([email protected]), and an online quote form, supported by website content marketing and a Google Business Profile for reviews. The primary customer segment is U.S. poultry processing plants, with secondary exposure to chemical/environmental, paper and pulp, and general industrial manufacturing. The business operates with a 1–10 employee team and over 30 years of industry experience, with named contacts (Scott Sloan, Bobby Tow) providing after-hours emergency support.
