Myers

Myers was founded in 1870 by Francis and Philip Myers in Ashland, Ohio. The brothers began by building farm implements and then engineered and manufactured the first double-acting hand pump that delivered water on both the up and down strokes. From this modest beginning, the Myers pump line grew and evolved over the decades to include wastewater removal and industrial pumps and systems.

In 1960 the Myers family sold the business to the McNeil Corporation of Akron, Ohio.

In 1986, Pentair purchased the Myers brand of pumps and grinders from McNeil Corporation of Akron, Ohio, vaulting the company to a position of leadership in the wastewater industry, and bringing its customers some of the best wastewater submersible solids handling pumps in the world.

In 1996, Pentair added to the Myers brand product portfolio with the addition of Aplex medium and heavy-duty reciprocating pumps. With a product line known as Myers-Aplex, the Myers brand has earned a reputation as one of the most highly recognized and accepted pump brands, with products proven to outlast some of the world’s most demanding and hostile applications.
