The first Cornell agricultural pump was introduced in 1949. Today, we offer more than 110 models for agricultural applications!
Cornell’s story began in 1946 when five employees from Pacific Pump Company decided to start their own company. With a fully equipped service department and firsthand experience repairing pump failures—including issues with motor overloading, pressure spikes, and water damage in pump-end motor bearings—they were ready to build something better. Leveraging their comprehensive inventory and manufacturing expertise, they could service any pump.
