A history of excellence
Henry R. Worthington, an American mechanical engineer, invented the world’s first direct-acting steam pump in 1840. In 1845, he co-founded Worthington and Baker, which manufactured hydraulic machinery such as steam pumps and meters.
Early in the company’s history, the United States Navy used Worthington pumps for boiler feedwater, bilge water, firefighting and general services aboard various ships during the American Civil War, including the USS Monitor, the first ironclad warship. Worthington pumps were also used by the British Expeditionary Army and provided hydraulic power for one of the original elevators in the Eiffel Tower.
The company changed names several times over the years, ultimately becoming the Worthington Corporation, while making many useful improvements to pumps, compressors and other machines. Acquired by Flowserve in 2000, the Worthington brand continues to maintain the high standards set by its founder.
The rich heritage of Worthington pumps continues in a wide range of solutions today.
