PF Pumpen und Feuerloschtechnik GmbH

Sixfold increase in sales in the last 20 years with firefighting equipment and pumps for industry, biogas and agriculture and 120 employees: The PF Pumpen und Feuerlöschtechnik GmbH with its brand JOHSTADT has a long tradition and a very successful development in the last years. The company history started in 1860, when Friedrich August Flader founded a braziery. From the beginning hand operated pumps for firefighting were produced under the brand of E.C. Flader. Later firefighting vehicles and pumps for industrial purposes completed the product range. Already then the company site was situated just a few meters away from the Bohemian border in the Saxon Jöhstadt (Ore Mountains). Despite no rail or autobahn access the management held on to the location until today. Since the mid-1990s high investments in product development led to a wide range of pumps for industry, agriculture and firefighting.
