Tramco Pump CompanyIn 1924, Harry DeCosta started TRAnsmission Machinery COmpany ( currently named Tramco Pump Company ), a company dedicated to repairing and remanufacturing mechanical equipment. Harry's long time boyhood friend, John Obermaier, was working as a salesman for Chicago Pump at the time. Harry and John joined forces, sharing a simple motive for what began as a sideline business to produce additional income. We began repairing and remanufacturing pumps. In the 1930's, the company began manufacturing it's own line of sump pumps and entered into the distribution business as one of the first industrial distributors for Gorman-Rupp Company. This is a relationship that we still enjoy today. In the 1940's, the company moved to a larger facility and developed a patented basement flood control system. In the years to follow, several products were added to our business of manufacturing and distribution of pumps and controls.In 1968, we changed our name to Tramco Pump Company to reflect that our business focus is providing solutions to liquid handling problems using pumps. In 1974, we again moved into a larger facility in order to meet the demands of higher production. During the 1980's and 1990's, we expanded our manufacturing products to compete in the commercial building trades market. We then began developing a national distribution network for the sales of our manufactured products.Today, Tramco specializes in designing, engineering and manufacturing pumps and custom pumping systems for the industrial, commercial, residential and O.E.M. markets.Through the years our products may have changed; but our strong commitment has not. It remains our top priority to provide our customers highest quality products and services.
