  • COLFAX CORP Profile

    The cold, hard facts are that Colfax works hard to be a top maker and marketer of pumps and pump-related products. Examples include centrifugal pumps, two- and three-screw pumps, and progressing pumps. Colfax serves customers in the commercial marine, oil and gas, power generation, and engineering industries. The company operates through 10 business units differentiated by product type and geography. More than two thirds of its sales come from outside the US. Its network includes more than 500 distributors that serve about 80 countries. Colfax has grown its manufacturing capabilities primarily through acquisitions, but it has also established a manufacturing facility in China. The company went public in 2008.
