In
1957, Metropolitan Pump Company began operations from a
"home" office in Western Springs, Illinois and was
subsequently incorporated in 1967. Since that time,
Metropolitan has evolved into a one-stop shop for pumps,
controls and ancillary equipment covering the municipal,
commercial, HVAC, industrial and residential water and
wastewater industries.
The company is headquartered
in Romeoville, Ill., 25 miles southwest of Chicago and
occupies a 100,000 sq. ft facility that houses over $6
million in inventory and employs 130 people.
One
of the keys to the Metropolitan's success is its ability to
quickly expand into new markets. For instance, given the current
state of U.S. energy policy and the move toward "Green"
technology, Metropolitan has trail blazed the path with such
products as variable-speed, energy-reducing pump systems, solar
powered water products and environmentally friendly wastewater
systems.
Metropolitan believes in
research and development and has a dedicated staff assigned
to the design, introduction and deployment of new technology
to make our end-users more productive and efficient in the
field.
The company believes in
"Single Source Responsibility" which means one company, one
phone call to make when you have a service issue or
question.
Part of our commitment as a
pumping systems leader includes sharing our expertise within
the industry by conducting seminars designed for engineers,
water/wastewater operators and city officials. Seminars
cover design, service, technology advances, etc., and most
satisfy state requirements for continuing education
requirements.
So who is Metropolitan? it is
best summed up by just saying The Pumping World's One Stop
Shop!
