Sipcot Industrial Park, Vallam Vadagal,Ruhrpumpen GmbH Wende And Hentschel history officially began in 1950 in the neighborhood of Annen in Witten, Germany under the name of Ruhrpumpen GmbH Wende & Hentschel. It started operations in the empty halls of the former Annen steel factory and, after the Second World War, it got busy with the maintenance of the existing installed pumps from all makers and models, as well as the manufacturing of new spare parts. Very quickly, a series of new constructions generated the need for new pumping equipment, primarily centrifugal and piston pumps for the ship industry, and, a little later, centrifugal pumps for pipelines and refineries.
Ruhr river has not only given our pumps their name. It also gives its name to the largest European industrial region, the Ruhrgebiet. The Ruhr has its source in the Rothaar mountains, near Winterberg in the Sauerland, has a total length of 221 km and joins the Rhine river near Duisburg. The city of Witten, situated in the southern area of the Ruhr valley, is the place where Ruhrpumpen was born in 1950.
