Dewatering and sewage pumps are the world of manufacturer Tsurumi is celebrating its centenary this year.
Over 500 models up to 30 m3/min or 216 m delivery head are listed in the catalogue for Europe alone.
Worldwide, the manufacturer even offers over 1,800 models with motor outputs of up to 300 kW for all conceivable applications, including clear and salt water.
It all started with vertical shaft pumps for agriculture. In 1953, submersible pumps were added - a product group that still dominates the market today. Company founder Jisaburo Tsujimoto's guiding principle for success was not to copy, but to develop new and better.
The main plant in Kyoto is considered the most modern and largest in the industry, with a capacity of one million pumps per year.
Production also takes place in Yonago, Japan, as well as in Taiwan, China and Vietnam. Production is currently being expanded and the vertical range of manufacture increased.
The company is based at its founding location in Osaka. The EU headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023, is strategically important.
The company also has its own sales companies on the continent in Belgium, France, the UK, Sweden and Spain.
Tsurumi produces more submersible pumps than any other manufacturer, according to Daniel Weippert, managing director of Tsurumi Europe.
Tsurumi's 2023 balance sheet shows an annual turnover of the equivalent of €353 million euros.
Asia, North America and Europe are the major key regions for the manufacturer, which employs 1,300 people.
