2019 Starts on a High Note with Ruthman Summit
Each year, key personnel from Ruthman Companies’ divisions gather to review the successes of the previous year, share challenges, and prepare for continued growth. The two-day meeting, moderated by our National Sales Manager Dan Csomos, covers all operations areas: technology, production, sales, purchasing, human resources and marketing.

Engineering Story: Sealless Pumps
 Eliminate Failure Headaches
Custom-Engineered Gusher Pumps Replace Problem Pumps at Cummins Mexico Plant
While our divisions offer a full range of standard pumps, engineering custom pump solutions is where we really shine. Such was the case on a recent Gusher job for a Cummins Engine plant in Mexico.

Gusher Distributor Anderson Industrial Machinery Inc. worked with OEM Dynatec Systems to upgrade one of the plant’s filtration system’s existing competitor pumps to custom-designed Gusher 7550 Vertical End Suction Centrifugal Pumps.

Gary Smith Talks Pumps in Racing
If you've tuned into MotorTrend TV or the Rev'n Channel recently, you might have caught sight of a familiar face. Gary Smith from the Ruthman Companies Regional Sales Team was interviewed in a PerformanceTV episode that aired several times this winter.

In a spot shot at the PRI Show, Gary talks about why professionals in the racing industry rely on Gusher brand pumps in applications from parts washing, to e-coat paint, to engine dyno pumps.

Engineering Story: Vortex Pumps Easily
Manage Paint Solids for Toyota Plant
No plant can afford downtime due to clogged and failed pumps. With Toyota operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, an interruption on the paint line due to a failed pump could be costly.

That’s why Durr chose Gusher Vortex Pumps for the paint sludge recapture on its paint overspray separation system. With the ability to handle large diameter solids and fibrous material without clogging, Vortex pumps can easily manage paint solids and other sludge pit debris.

In February, 38 of these beauties rolled off the production line at Gusher and headed to Toyota's Georgetown plant.
