Wachs company has a history that dates back more than 120 years. The story of this company is really an account of the various personalities and abilities of its owners during those years and continuing its development today. At the age of 14, Edward Wachs emigrated from Germany to Springfield, Ohio. Here, he was apprenticed as a machinist in the shops of James Leffel & Company. After a number of years in that area, he moved to Chicago and became associated with the Taylor & Wachs Chain Company (now the Taylor Chain Company), a hand-forging operation to manufacture chain. In 1883, the partnership of Taylor and Wachs was severed, and that same year, Edward Wachs founded the E.H. Wachs Company. At that time, a major prime mover for any business had to be either waterpower or steam power. Because metropolitan areas such as Chicago used steam as the major prime mover, the E.H. Wachs company focused its efforts there. The Company did steam fitting and general millwork in connection with the establishment of boiler plants and piping to run steam engines. After several years of steam fitting and millwork, the Company started the manufacture of the Wachs Vertical Steam Engine. This was a single cylinder, double-acting, vertical engine, which was manufactured in a range of sizes from 1 HP to 60 HP. The steam engine business grew, and in 1888, Charles Wachs joined the Company as Plant Manager. Charles Wachs was the eldest of Edward Wachs’s six sons and had apprenticed as a machinist at the Milwaukee plant of Filer & Stowell Company. Prior to his apprenticeship, he had studied engineering at Armor Tech in Chicago. By the time Charles Wachs joined, the Wachs Company owned a two-story manufacturing plant in Chicago at the southwest corner of LaSalle and Grand Avenues. The line shafts in this plant were driven by a steam engine, located in the basement

Current Position: War......Founded: Warren Rupp was founded in 1965 by Warren E. Rupp and Charles E. Young, Jr., in Mansfield, Ohio Founding Goal: To fill exceptional pumps needs, abrasive and viscous substances in particular. Current Position: Warren Rupp holds a leading position in the air-operated, diaphragm pump market with the broadest range of pump sizes, types and models. Marketed primarily under the tradename of SANDPIPER® Pumps. Markets Served: Principal markets served by Warren Rupp include chemicals, paints, food processing, electronics, construction, industrial maintenance, utilities, process industries, wastewater and sludge processing, and mining. Distribution: Warren Rupp products are sold worldwide through a network of independent, factory-authorized distributors. Product is marketed in over 60 countries, in nearly every major trading area. Sales to international customers account for a substantial portion of Warren Rupps revenues. Product Profile: Warren Rupp pumps are manufactured in aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, Hastelloy equivalent, Polypropylene and conductive Polypropylene, PVDF and conductive PVDF, nylon and conductive acetal. Self-priming and sealess, they are ideal for pumping abrasive, semisolid, corrosive and shear sensitive materials. They are also chosen for applications where electricity is not available, or cannot be used due to safety conditions. Diaphragm pumps provide pollution-free and energy-efficient operation, with fewer moving parts than conventional motor-driven pumps. Competition: More and more competitors are entering the diaphragm pump business. The product, which in past years was the pump of the last resort, is becoming widely accepted in plants as the first choice in many cases. Competitive Advantages: A single, no-stall air drive system (ESADS®) on all models provides GUARANTEED no-stalling performance, eliminating the need to choose among technologies for different operating conditions. The INNOVATION of Warren Rupp provided the first BOLTED AODD pump design (35 years ago) that continues to provide service life in excess of service intensive V-band designs. New innovations include Containment Duty models from Warren Rupp. These AODD pumps are comprised of a primary and secondary pumping diaphragm for each chamber separated by an inert, compatible fluid barrier. Buyer motivations include: • For hazardous fluids (example: hydrochloric acid) a pump diaphragm failure does not stop the pump from finishing batch transfer, and provides protection of the environment by preventing fluid from entering and being exhausted through the air exhaust. • Maintenance costs are significantly reduced for many fluids because in the event of a diaphragm failure, the air drive system is not contaminated or in need of extensive cleaning or replacement. • Air is prevented from entering the fluid being pumped, so critical applications (example: ceramic slip) where air mixed with the transfer fluid would degrade the final product can be performed reliably even in the event of diaphragm failure. • In short, the Containment Duty models offer benefits unequaled by the competition that provide the least risk and best value for critical process applications. Warren Rupp also enjoys many intangible advantages. The company is known to stand behind the product with a generous 5 year warranty policy, money-back guarantees, and factory-based training, education and troubleshooting. The Technical Services and Engineering Departments are available to all users and distributors. The companys distributors are known as highly professional companies around the world.
