F. E. Myers was
founded in 1870 by
Francis
and Philip Myers in Ashland, Ohio. The brothers began by building
farm implements and then engineered and manufactured the first
double-acting hand pump, one that delivered water on both the
up and down strokes. From this modest beginning, the Myers pump
line grew and evolved over the decades to include wastewater,
industrial, and water systems pumps and pumping systems. In 1960
the Myers family sold the company to the McNeil Corporation of
Akron, Ohio. In 1986 Myers was acquired by Pentair, Inc.
of St. Paul, Minnesota where it is now a part of this $2 billion
corporation's water products group. Myers is located on 80 acres
in Ashland and operates in a modern 410,000 square foot manufacturing,
distribution, foundry, and office facility. It employs approximately
600 people dedicated to supplying top quality jet and submersible
well pumps; utility, sump and sewage pumps; effluent pumps; non-clog
and other large waste handling pumps; and high pressure reciprocating
and centrifugal pumps and pumping systems. Markets include
residential, agricultural, commercial, municipal and industrial
applications in North America and more than 100 foreign countries.
Pacific Liquid & Air has represented Myers in Hawaii and the South Pacific since 1985. Since that time, over 9000 Myers pumps of all types have been installed in the region. For an overview of each of the Myers product lines, click on the PL&A links below.
