Johnson Pump

Johnson Pump has been developing, manufacturing, and marketing pumps for marine and industrial applications for over 25 years. This Swedish-based company is represented in more than 50 countries, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in its main markets in Europe, the USA, and Australia. In December 1995, its employees numbered 200.

The company's product range comprises:

- pump designs aimed at a broad spectrum of industry including chemicals manufacture and processing, food production, surface finishing, and a variety of process industries where reliability is vital.
- pumps for use in vehicles
- pumps for use in boats of 60 feet or less.

Johnson Pump also uses the product portfolios of the international network of agents which supplies products to its subsidiaries. In this way, the company can provide optimum solutions to pump problems for its customers.

The majority of Johnson Pump products are made in Sweden or the USA. Its international market is serviced by a worldwide sales and service organisation.

Since 1993, considerable investments have been made in new products. Resources have been more than doubled, and currently 10 people are employed in the company R&D Department in a comprehensive programme carried out both independently and in collaboration with key customers.

The company has applied for ISO 9000 certification and aims to have CE-marking for all its products in the near future. Today, Johnson Pumps are used by major marine engine manufacturers including Volvo Penta, Yamaha, and Yanmar. Boatbuilders such as Nimbus and Westerly Yachts also use pumps supplied by the company.

Profits in 1995 reached SEK 9.4 million on revenues of SEK 265 million. Debt/equity ratio improved in 1995, up from 11 to 24% (including the new share issue).

Strongest growth in 1994 was recorded on the American marine market, where the increase was 15%. European marine sales were stable during this period. Market development for industrial pumps has been steady with reasonable growth recorded in all markets.
