What empe pumps does

EMPE PUMPS S.L. is a privately held Spanish limited liability company (Sociedad Limitada) founded in 2022 and headquartered in Sant Julià de Ramis, Girona. The company designs and manufactures custom electric motors and precision-machined components for industrial applications, operating from a single 1,500 m² facility equipped with CNC machinery and a state-of-the-art motor test room featuring a regenerative-braking system capable of evaluating AC motors up to 400V, 50/60 Hz, and 4kW. Its core product line is the Motores Eléctricos EMPE (EMPE Electric Motors) family, designed and built in-house to meet CE and CMIM marking standards. The offering is complemented by on-demand precision machining (concentric and shaft machining), custom shaft manufacturing with material and surface treatment selection, a motor analysis/redesign service, and a dedicated test bench for prototype validation. The company has extended into specialized integrated components such as a 48V desalination unit co-developed with Eco-Sistems Watemakes for nautical, coastal, and off-grid applications.

EMPE generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of custom and standard electric motors, professional services for precision machining, and professional services for motor testing, analysis, and redesign. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list; customer engagement runs exclusively through direct enterprise channels — a website "Request Budget" contact form and phone outreach — with no third-party resellers or e-commerce. The company serves multiple B2B use-case segments including industrial manufacturing (pumping, fluid handling, production equipment), industrial ventilation, machine tools, swimming pool equipment, water desalination and treatment, and automation and control. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting industrial customers that require non-standard motor specifications or precision-machined parts.

Operationally, EMPE holds ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification issued by SGS, claims more than 20 years of accumulated team experience in electric motor manufacturing, and distributes content through a multi-language (Spanish, Catalan, English) website, a LinkedIn company page, and SEO-oriented technical blog posts. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, external investors, or funding rounds. Public disclosure of revenue, headcount, or contracted order book is absent.
