ASM INDUSTRIES AND PACER PUMPS

Al Marlow formed Orly Manufacturing in 1974 out of Midland Park, New Jersey. Al was very familiar with his father`s firm, Marlow Pumps, and Al`s own company Midland Pumps. Both of these companies were well-known for their metal self-priming centrifugal pumps in the construction industry. Al did most of the design work for both companies. Although Al had retired in the early 1970s, he had the idea to make a lightweight self-priming centrifugal pump out of plastic. This was a tough sell as many thought it would never work. Al Marlow never gave up and founded Orly Manufacturing as a joint venture with an export company, IIDC. Orly Manufacturing began to establish relationships with national OEMs but soon the Pacer Pumps brand was created to penetrate deeper into the marketplace. While plastic pumps are suited for relatively clean liquids, they are not suited for sand or rock slurries which contractors usually pump. A few pumps had been sold to farmers and things started to change.

The self-priming plastic pump was perfect for agriculture applications where the key product criteria would be lightweight, corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and affordability. Business grew quickly and the Pacer Pump brand gained worldwide acceptance in the agriculture industry. Those who said it could not be done now realized that it could and copycat pumps started to appear on the market. The line of plastic pumps was extended by Orly Manufacturing to include end suction centrifugal pumps, hand pumps, couplings and other self-priming centrifugal pumps. In addition, Orly offered multiple drive options such as gasoline and diesel engines, electric, hydraulic and pneumatic motors. With the extensive product line and expansion into multiple markets, injection molding became a concern. Orly was experiencing major variation in injection-molded components made at various custom molders. The solution was to become vertically integrated and thus Polymar was formed to deliver in-house injection molding capability.
