Stefan Kleinmann, member of the Allweiler AG management board, said: “Just as we optimize our pumps today to minimize overall costs for the operator with high efficiency and long maintenance intervals, 50 or 100 years ago Allweiler pumps were designed to be incredibly reliable. Giving customers the best possible solutions has always been our focus.”

Submissions will be excepted until 31 December 2010. A photo and brief description of the operating conditions are sufficient for initial contact via e-mail to innovation@allweiler.de. Allweiler will display the three oldest pumps in its demonstration room.
