American Turbine Pump
American Turbine Pump Co., Inc. is a United States manufacturer of industrial pumps, particularly vertical turbine and submersible pumps, based in Lubbock, Texas. It was founded by Leslie H. Bowron, Jim Fox and Troy Fox.
History
The story of American Turbine begins in 1936 when a family business was founded to install pumps in the West Texas plains. Three generations of pump experience later, the founders of American Turbine began looking for a way to make existing pumps more efficient. It soon became apparent, however, that the only way of doing this effectively would be for this company to manufacture the pumps themselves. Thus in July of 1975, American Turbine Pump Company, Inc. was founded in Lubbock, Texas, combining decades of experience in the pump industry. The original American Turbine product lines were designed for a market that demanded top quality, dependability, and efficiency. Those standards still hold true today. American Turbine has expanded its growing production lines to accommodate municipal water supply, industrial, agricultural, waste water, booster systems, hydrocarbon transfer, mine dewatering, offshore platforms, HVAC, cooling towers, turf irrigation, pulp and paper mills, water amusement parks, snow making, fish hatcheries, and barge unloading markets. In 1979, ATP was growing so fast that American Turbine Pump Company of Houston was established as an engineering and sales facility. ATP Houston was formed to provide sales support in the heart of the industrial community. ATP Houston also serves as a strategic distribution point for the international markets, something that this company is very much a part of. As growth continued, American Turbine Pump Company of California was opened in 1992. ATP California is a sales and service facility designed to distribute equipment quickly to the western marketplace and handle our sales in California, Oregon, and Washington. Today, American Turbine has pumps all over the world, from the United States to Iceland, from Saudi Arabia to Spain. Using current research data and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, American Turbine continues to produce some of the most energy-efficient vertical turbines and submersible pumps available in the world.
