The first family of Myers pumps were reciprocating types:
'Bulldozer' shallow well, high capacity pumps; 'Working
Head' deep well reciprocating pumps; and 'High
Pressure' industrial pumps. In the 1930s, the first jet pumps
were designed. Submersibles were introduced in the 1950s. In the
late 1960s, Myers began to manufacture their own design submersible
motors.
Other products Myers manufactures today include submersibles and
centrifugal jet pumps for residential water systems, environmental
waste handling pumps/systems, sump and sewage pumps, reciprocating
and centrifugal industrial pumps, plus a wide range of repair parts
and accessories. Our pump range is from 1/6
HP to 200 HP with capacities to 2300 GPM, and our high pressure
pumps can go to 5500 PSI.
Today, the F. E. Myers Company is located on 100 acres of land
in the northeast section of Ashland, Ohio. The facilities consist
of a modern, one story complex of 273,878 square feet of
manufacturing space connected to a new 19,400 square foot, one
story office, with an adjacent, separate, 2,500 square foot
training center and a modern all-electric foundry of 120,000 square
feet.
Today, the F. E. Myers Company utilizes the most modern
equipment, technology and processes available, and is considered a
world-class manufacturer.
An excellent product starts in design, where in the engineering
office the use of a company-wide IBM computer system with CRT units
and PC's used in conjunction with CAD/CAM systems (Computer
Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) generates all production
drawings, parts lists, and plant layout drawings.
To properly utilize the manpower, the plant has many
manufacturing cells in operation producing a family of parts with
one operator running up to six machines.
For advancements into the future, Myers has the most modern,
well equipped laboratory with test tanks to 32,000 gallon capacity
and a drilled 220 foot deep test well with the electrical and
hydraulic testing capability on pumps up to 200 HP.
Today, the F. E. Myers Co., with its 600 employees in a world
class manufacturing facility with vendors from around the world,
stands ready to serve its customers. Its product is recognized for
its quality throughout the world. The sales and distribution
network is established worldwide. Myers 'Where Innovation Meets
