“PUMP-FLO.com has become a real global force, with over 85 pump manufacturers working with us now,” said Michael Blondin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Engineered Software. “As we work with more manufacturers than anyone else in the world, we're the only ones who can offer a selection of this size. The more people we have using the website and the software, the more [manufacturers’ catalogs] we will be able to offer them.”

The PUMP-FLO.com website, originally started in 2002, offers information on the pump industry, research articles, and training and software opportunities. The main feature of the website is the downloadable pump catalogs offered to the PUMP-FLO Software users.
