Cornell builds in three locations—Clackamas, Oregon; Vancouver, Washington; and Rock Hill, South Carolina—to fulfill thousands of pumps we ship around the world every year. Whether destined for a farm in the Midwest, a mine in South America, or a municipal treatment plant in Europe, each pump begins with the care and craftsmanship of our skilled assembly teams.
Precision and Pace
Our assemblers balance efficiency with attention to detail. Month-end deadlines often mean tighter schedules, but quality is never sacrificed. Each pump goes through rigorous checks—from the fit of seals and impellers to the final torque specifications—ensuring that it meets Cornell’s high standards before it leaves the floor.
Teamwork Across Facilities
With three assembly facilities working in tandem, coordination is key. Pumps may be built in Vancouver, mated with a motor in Rock Hill, and tested in Clackamas. This seamless integration keeps production flowing and allows us to respond quickly to customer needs worldwide.
The Human Side of Manufacturing
While pumps are our product, people are our strength. Our assemblers, machinists, welders, and testers take pride in knowing that the equipment they build supports critical applications—irrigating crops, dewatering mines, processing food, and managing wastewater. Every bolt tightened and every test completed connects back to our mission: building pumps that keep industries and communities running.
Looking Ahead
As demand continues to grow, Cornell Pump remains committed to investing in our people, processes, and facilities. Month-end may always be a little hectic, but it’s also a reminder of the impact we make across the globe—one pump at a time.
