Poclain pumps prioritize customer proximity
As new Poclain pump applications are won across the world, the group is consolidating its pump manufacturing capabilities, making them more readily available where they are needed. Since acquiring the Comer Industries Hydraulic division in 2009, Poclain has significantly improved pump design and added dedicated production lines to serve the local markets.
A highly modular pump range
Poclain’s closed-loop pump range includes five models: PMV0, PM10, PM20, PM30, and PM50 ranging from 7 ccs per rev. to 52 ccs per rev. (0.43 to 3.17 cu.in per rev.). Designed to work alongside Poclain’s high torque motors, they are as modular, reliable and integrated, capable of interfacing with flanged flow dividers.
A notable feature of these pumps is their tandem mounting capability, which makes them particularly suitable for compact machines such as skid steers, compact loaders, and walk-behind tool carriers.
A close-to-customer pump offering
Poclain’s strategy to build pumps closer to geographical markets began in 2015 with the establishment of a PMV0 assembly line at its Shanghai plant to serve the ASEAN market for walk-behind rollers.
In 2020 the Yorkville, Wisconsin plant started assembling PM10 tandem pumps for the compact mobile machinery market and saw a surge in demand due to its unique compact design and localized production.
"To serve the indian market, we are curently investing 1.3 million euros to set up an assembly line in our Pondicherry, India Plant," Vincenzo Tomei says.
The historical Comer pump plant in Gaggio, Italy, has been moved to a state-of-the-art facility in Spilamberto.
We have invested 9 million euros to optimize quality, productivity, and cleanliness, and bring together the operational and R&D teams.
Further investments are underway in Shanghai to extend the pump range to PMV0, 10 and 20 with a new assembly line.
Spilamberto (Italy), Yorkville (USA), Shanghai (China) and Pondicherry (India) - these four locations share the same processes and level of excellence for pump design and manufacturing.
“Today Poclain can address any medium duty pump need around the world in a short timeframe, and we expect to double our output by 2030, meeting the growing global demand for advanced pump solutions," Vincenzo Tomei says.
