One of PUMP-FLO’s most valued pump manufactures has a new name. Due to the significant expansion of their business activities in the petrochemical and offshore industry, Akay Industries Group has announced that they will position themselves under the global trade name Deep Blue Pump Company. This will be reflected in the catalog list on PUMP-FLO.com.

The new name should be perceived as an acknowledgement of the size, strength, and diversity of the entire Akay Industries Group – making “Deep Blue Pump Company” the cornerstone their worldwide branding in the pump market.

The creation of an Electronic PUMP-FLO Catalog, or eCatalog, is a team effort between Engineered Software and the pump manufacturer. If you would like to see a manufacturers' catalog added to our list, please email info@pump-flo.com or call 800-786-8545.
