SPP Pumps wins Manufacturer of the Year at Pump Industry Awards for fourth consecutive year

Coleford, UK, 19 March 2026: SPP Pumps, a leading manufacturer of centrifugal pumps and systems, wins Manufacturer of the Year at the 2026 Pump Industry Awards, recognising the company’s engineering and high-standard-contributions to the pump industry for a record-setting fourth year in a row.

This is a testament to SPP Pumps leadership in the field. From flood risk reduction to fire protection, transformer cooling to chemical pumping, SPP Pump’s products are installed in a variety of critical industries and applications.

“This award is a meaningful representation of our commitment to industry excellence and manufacturing expertise. With a robust team of highly skilled and dedicated people, we pride ourselves on the quality, reliability and service provided to our customers around the world,” said Robert Tichband, COO, SPP Pumps UK.

SPP represents high quality British manufacturing and standards on a global scale. It designs, manufactures and delivers to global markets, with over 60% of sales as custom-engineered, made-to order products.

The Manufacturer of the Year award, presented at the Pump Industry Awards, honours companies that demonstrate excellence in the industry. The judges felt that SPP Pumps achieved significant recognition from contractors and customers in service areas such as innovation, product delivery, technical expertise and after sales service. 

As Russ Towse, the Director of Operations at Yorkshire & Humber Drainage Boards said when discussing the flood risk project SPP Pumps worked on, “The pumps have become an asset to our communities.”

Not only does this award recognise the manufacturing excellence that SPP Pumps provides, it also is proof of the importance and reliability of the after-sales service division, which provides customer service for installed pumps through field service, planned maintenance, spares supply and regional repair centres.

SPP Pumps is constantly striving to provide better products, services and solutions for the global market. This award sets the benchmark for pump industry manufacturing, and with their fourth win in a row now celebrated, SPP Pumps looks to this coming year’s continued improvement and investment in innovation.
