Allweiler is looking for its oldest pump

Allweiler has been manufacturing pumps in Germany for 150 years, making it the country's oldest pump manufacturer. To celebrate, they are looking for the three oldest Allweiler pumps still in service anywhere in the world. Submissions will be accepted until the end of December 2010 and the operators will receive a modern replacement pump at no charge.
Since Allweiler's founding in 1860, building long-lived and reliable pumps has been one of the company's most important objectives. Having the right materials, designs, and configurations was just as important back then as it is today. "Just as we optimize our pumps today to minimize overall costs for the operator with high efficiency and long maintenance intervals, 50 or 100 years ago Allweiler pumps were designed to be reliable. Giving customers the best possible solutions has always been our focus," according to Stefan Kleinmann, Vice-President of the Industry business segment and member of the Allweiler AG management board. The success of this strategy is evidenced by numerous patents, awards, and innovative solutions from every era of the company's history, including 150 years of market leadership.
