The 84,000-square-foot manufacturing and testing facility near Lubbock International Airport will support commercial, industrial, municipal, agricultural, and irrigation markets.

Specifically, the move brings together a leadership team with over 150 years of collective experience in engineered pumping systems testing, development, production, repair, and training. In addition, Abernathy is an ISO 9001:2015-certified facility, providing a critical level of design, testing, and manufacturing excellence for pump systems and components.
The Abernathy test facility has Hydraulic Institute’s 40.7 certification, an EPA-recognized standard by which product efficiencies are measured.
