Our Roots

The Initial Start in India… The roots of Mody Pumps ®, Inc. began in India in 1957, almost 50 years ago by D.N.Mody; a successful businessman in a variety of enterprises. The subcontinent had gone through a tumultuous period, British rule and subsequent partition. There was a lack of basic necessities in almost all areas, water being one of them. Mr. Mody, recognizing the acute shortage of water pumps, began importing submersible and jet pumps from the U.K. Due to high import tariffs and the depreciating value of the local currency, he was forced to begin manufacturing his own pumps and motors. Back in the 60’s Mody was the first local manufacturer to produce 4” & 6” submersible turbine pumps, which ultimately led to a full line of submersible dewatering, sludge and wastewater pumps. One of the Fastest Growing Manufacturers Worldwide… Mody Pumps ®, Inc. is one of the fastest growing submersible pump manufacturers worldwide. We draw from almost half a century of experience in the submersible pump industry to deliver products that embody superior quality, reliability, peerless customer service and solid after-sales support. We serve the dewatering , municipal, industrial, marine, rental and waste water management markets by offering a complete range of dewatering pumps and a full line of wastewater and sewage pumps.

OUR VISION

Mody Pumps, Inc. has been and always will be a family-owned corporation. We treat our distributors like we treat our own family and employees, with trust, honesty, loyalty and above all a commitment to provide on-time submersible pumps of the highest quality at reasonable prices.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to produce quality submersible pumps for moving water and wastewater safely and efficiently, at a reasonable price, backed by superior customer service, with a firm commitment to continually improve in meeting the challenges of the ever-changing global market environment.

OUR GOALS
