Gorman-Rupp pumps suit a range of applications: wastewater pumping, sewage pumping, industrial waste pumping, grey water pumping and dewatering.
Gorman-Rupp is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of self-priming sewage pumps and wastewater pumping equipment, and has been for more than 75 years. They offer a diverse range of high performance, high-quality, reliable pumps and pumping systems required for lasting service in wastewater pumps, sewage pumps, industrial waste, petroleum, fire and OEM markets.
In an industry that lacked a clear market leader, J.C Gorman and H.E Rupp saw an opportunity to excel, establishing their new company upon a mission statement that dictated it would “enter a field of pumping service only when able to provide superior products with better performance.” This reflects the business goals and attitudes that Hydro Innovations also strives for. A relationship was forged and now Hydro Innovations is the exclusive distributor for Gorman-Rupp pumps in Australia.

Hydro Innovations Regional Manager, Graeme Spence and Gorman-Rupp Regional Sales Manager for Oceania and South East Asia, Kevin Jamie met with the Corryong CFA Group to issue one of the donated water transfer pumps.
Gorman-Rupp’s extensive line of pump products includes self-priming centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps and rotary gear pumps. A product range that goes hand in hand with the comprehensive knowledge, experience and skill that is ingrained in both Hydro Innovations and Gorman-Rupp.
In addition, Gorman-Rupp manufactures a complete line of state-of-the-art packaged lift stations and booster stations that include pumps, motors, controls, piping, accessories and enclosures.
