Asia Automatic Pump expands business in Southeast Asia and aims to increase export sales
The company supplies wastewater treatment pumps, industrial pumps, fire-fighting pumps, and domestic pumps, among others, to local distributors and exclusive agents in more than 45 countries
Asia’s robust residential, agricultural and industrial developments drive demand for water-pump solutions. Asia Automatic Pump – Taiwan’s pioneer in producing domestic auto booster pumps, fire-fighting pumps and inverter-controlled booster pump sets – is gearing to expand its foothold in Southeast Asia and targets increasing export sales from 10 per cent to 20 per cent year-on-year.
“More local players in the water pump business are catering to middle- and high-class market segments. We offer higher quality products with superior life cycle costs,” says managing director Hu Shin-an.
Asia Automatic Pump is Taiwan’s first pump manufacturer to acquire factory certifications from the International Organisation for Standardisation and Chinese National Standards. In 2013, it allocated US$700,000 to develop its diesel engine generator set (genset) and obtained laboratory certification from Taiwan Accreditation Foundation last year. To increase production capacity, the company will expand and automate its assembly line and laboratory scale of diesel engine gensets.
