Evolution of CAT PUMPS
Quality is the Difference

Prior to 1968, the existing pumps for the industrial cleaning and car wash markets delivered very short life with very high operating costs. They could not meet the demands of these applications without constant breakdowns and frequent replacement. This greatly reduced the growth potential for these markets. CAT PUMPS started a new level of quality and performance.

In 1968, William Bruggeman, founder of CAT PUMPS, ended his quest for a more dependable high pressure pump with the development of the patented UNIFLOW design piston pump. This new pump technology, first introduced with the Model 400 CAT PUMP, quickly changed these markets. Our new longer lasting pumps eliminated the costly and frequent downtime users were experiencing and initiated a period of rapid growth and development in the car wash and pressure wash industries.

CAT PUMPS focus has always been on quality pumps and lasting performance. Throughout our history, we have worked closely with users, manufacturers and associations to assure we deliver the highest quality reciprocating piston and plunger pumps; that they are designed to meet the application needs and that they provide you the greatest value for your dollar. Our blue pumps have proven to be The Pumps with Nine Lives.
