SIMFLO Pumps Inc.
In 1951, Clarence Simmons opened a machine shop in the small West Texas town of Sundown. He provided machining services to the general public and for the booming oil and gas industry. However, he knew he could grow well beyond his humble beginnings. In 1953, Mr. Simmons hired Raymond Pickering, a visionary and entrepreneur who shared Mr. Simmon’s dream of transforming a small machine shop into a premier manufacturer. Pickering knew, however, expansion could only be maintained through exceptional products – a sentiment which laid the framework for SIMFLO’s quality assurance procedures still in practice today. With continued growth and success, Mr. Simmons and Mr. Pickering developed their own line of vertical turbine pumps. The first Simmons brand bowl assembly was manufactured and sold in 1956. From that moment on, Simmons products have been manufactured and tested to ensure unmatched quality through uncompromising standards.

UNMATCHED QUALITY
GO AGAINST the CURRENT
While it can be tempting to become complacent with what’s customary, we refuse to compromise on our quality standards.
As one of the last privately held vertical turbine manufacturers in the industry, SIMFLO’s leadership has maintained the same unmatched standards of quality and performance that the company was originally founded on. This results in the longest possible life for our pumps and a ripple effect ensuring the longevity of your operation.
That also means there’s less red tape to cut through. Decisions can be made quickly, and we are agile enough to pivot if your plans change. Our engineering department is equipped with the latest software and resources, and our in-house support team gives our customers direct access to experienced personnel to answer any questions which may arise.
FOUNDRY
MEET OUR ALL-STAR CAST
Controlling a well-cast product is an incredible advantage to producing pumps that surpass all others.
Every aspect of a SIMFLO pump is created to provide the highest level of performance in the industry. We keep pace with new technologies and continually improve our processes and equipment to maximize product availability and high-quality standards. The expert staff at SIMFLO understands the art of pouring metal and uses proven techniques to verify the quality of each cast piece. This attention to detail assures hydraulic performance and a product free of physical defect.
Quality Assurance Process
Protect your liquid assetsIn this day of outsourcing operations and components, SIMFLO's focus on manufacturing many of its own components makes us a rarity in the industry.
In-house engineering and testing allow SIMFLO to maintain the most stringent quality standards possible. SIMFLO Quality Assurance procedures were designed and developed by our own engineers and plant supervisors to meet ISO-9001 standards. With testing facilities at multiple SIMFLO locations, we’re able to test pumps with a maximum flow of 30,000 GPM and electrical service up to 1,000 HP.
We uphold the same standards when it comes to safe drinking water. SIMFLO’s products and facilities go through ongoing testing to verify their safety and performance. Our 4”–28” bowl assemblies have earned NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certification from NSF International, which ensures the greatest benefit to both you and your end-users.
