Built in the USA, Trusted Worldwide
Ampco Pumps began in 1914 as AMPCO Metal, founded on the discovery of a durable bronze alloy used in military and marine applications. In 1948, the company launched a pumps division focused on industrial centrifugal pumps for saltwater environments, supplying the U.S. Navy.
Eventually spun off as Ampco Pumps, the company expanded into sanitary pumps in 1995, driving rapid growth in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech markets. More recently, Ampco introduced Ampco Applied Products, specializing in hygienic powder blending and shear mixers.
In 2023, Ampco joined the global Krones Group, enhancing its product range and market reach. Today, Ampco is known for durable, high-performance pumps and mixers, backed by expert engineering and exceptional customer service across diverse industries worldwide.

What Are Sanitary Pumps?
Sanitary pumps are designed to safely move fluids in applications requiring strict hygiene standards, such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing. These pumps must:
- Use FDA- or 3A-compliant materials like 316L stainless steel
- Be fully drainable, CIP/SIP compatible, and easy to clean
- Minimize product entrapment and microbial risk
- Withstand high-pressure washdowns, steam, and cleaning agents
Ampco offers both centrifugal and positive displacement sanitary pump types, giving customers flexible options for high flow, high viscosity, or shear-sensitive fluids.
