Dewatering pump specialist 4396 Tsurumi (Europe) has acquired a majority share of Belgian Tsurumi distributor Marine Motors & Pumps (MMPumps) in order to support and strengthen both companies in the European pump market.

MMPumps will continue to run the business, selling and renting Tsurumi pumps for the Belgian market, but will be involved indirectly in the French rental market through cross-renting. Tsurumi’s new French company, Tsurumi Pump Location (TPL), who established its first depot in east France, will rent pumps off MMPumps for French customers.

“We have had a strong relationship with Tsurumi over the last 40 years and this development will strengthen our position in the market and serve customers directly,” said Johan Dekker, managing director of MMPumps. “This acquisition will increase our knowledge, productivity and sales, while providing an excellent service to our customers.”

MMPumps serves not only the main dewatering and sewerage markets for Tsurumi, but also covers nearly all pumping applications with self-designed and newly built pump systems that correspond to market needs. Its professional pump experts take care of most installations to ensure safety and efficiency. Tsurumi has thousands of pumps at its warehouse in Belgium and almost all of its 250 pump models.
