American-made and built to last, Vaughan’s pumps and mechanical hydraulic mixing systems are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet the unique needs of any operation.
Vaughan promises quality product design, reliability, dependability and availability — plus superior service and support to bring life cycle costs to the lowest they can be. The company’s high-performing and exceptionally reliable pumps can handle the severe workloads of correctional facilities, dairy farms, wastewater treatment plants and more.
Vaughan Company takes full advantage of cutting-edge technology. The company incorporates in-house 3D computer modeling, allowing it to create exact fits and precision castings for all components.
Worldwide service
Since the late 1950s, “What could make this better?” was the unwavering motivation Jim Vaughan used to invent the world’s first chopper pump. After countless hours of repairing clogged manure systems for local dairy farmers, he knew there had to be a solution.
Jim officially introduced the world’s first chopper pump in 1960, and Vaughan Company was born. His brilliant idea met a genuine need that had applications far beyond the dairy farm. In the decades since, Vaughan Company has greatly expanded operations and now has 40 issued or pending patents worldwide.
Benefits of buying American
For federally funded projects, Vaughan pumps and pumping equipment meet all requirements to receive federal aid under the Build America, Buy America Act. Nearly all Vaughan Company materials are produced in the U.S. and constructed in Vaughan’s 140,000-square-foot Washington-based manufacturing facility. With an extensive $15 million inventory and strong relationships with domestic suppliers and foundries, Vaughan ensures reliable quality and fast lead times.
Not to mention, each chopper pump or mixing system is custom-built to meet the end user’s specific needs. Even without current supply chain disruptions, global sourcing would not allow for this level of customization within a feasible timeline, according to Vaughan. In addition to fast builds, the company’s Washington state-based manufacturing facility holds a large surplus of spare parts, which allows for easy maintenance of Vaughan products.
Knowing that every pump user faces a unique situation, Vaughan Company also has local sales representatives across the country to provide exceptional customer service when it is needed most — whether that’s working closely with customers to tailor pump solutions for an exact situation or providing post-installation support.
Vaughan Company is a pumping and mixing equipment manufacturer located in Montesano, Washington, which provides products for both domestic and international businesses and municipalities. Vaughan focuses on producing quality pumps and mixers for tough applications within the municipal, industrial and agricultural markets. This focus on quality means the company takes time on each project to ensure that the pumps and/or mixers are properly sized for each installation.
