It was over 150 years ago when George Sumner established his engineering works and brass foundry to serve the local textile industry, then the world's largest. After the First World War and the decline in the local textile industry, George Sumner Ltd was diversifying into wider industrial market

Exploring new areas of activity lead to an involvement with pumping and the development of the Sumner rotary gear pump, still being used worldwide today.

 
  The continued growth of these activities resulted in the formation in 1965 of a separate company, Marshall Pump Systems Ltd, dedicated to servicing this expanding market.
 
   
  Marshall Pumps today in the 21st Century has grown to comprise of:
   
  • Our own team of dedicated sales and service engineers
  • Our own fleet of delivery and service vehicles
  • Extensive stocks of pumps, spares and associated equipment
  • Full repair and test facilities
  • State of the art engineering
  • Fully computerised system
  • Helpful trade counter
 
  Our engineering background and state of the art facilities gives us a unique position in today's market place. As well as being distributors for many of the best known pump manufacturers, we build and adapt pump sets, specify, design and assemble packages to meet our clients requirements and manufacture complete pump sets. Together with the fact that we were the first pump distributor to be fully accredited to ISO 9001 we offer a facility few, if indeed any, other pump distributors can offer.
