History of Roper Pumps
Founded in 1857, Roper Pump Company has evolved from a small Georgia-based operation into one of the most trusted names in industrial pumping technology. Originally manufacturing hand-operated gear pumps, Roper quickly adapted to meet the changing needs of heavy industries in the U.S. and globally.
Their early breakthroughs in gear pump engineering led to widespread use in fuel transfer, railcar loading, and process applications. With the acquisition by Roper Technologies, Inc., the company expanded its capabilities and product lines, particularly in progressing cavity pumps, designed for shear-sensitive and abrasive fluid handling.
Today, Roper Pumps operates with a commitment to precision machining, durable materials, and innovative engineering. Their products are manufactured in the U.S., with a strong focus on supporting industrial sectors with field-proven solutions built to perform under pressure.
