OUR STORY

Cochrane Pumps was formed in 1983 to manufacture and market pumps in Zimbabwe and surrounding areas.

Initially a joint venture between Cochrane Holdings of Harare, Zimbabwe and Stork NV of Holland, Cochrane Stork Zimbabwe soon became the leading manufacturer of pumps. When Stork sold their pumping interests to Johnson Pump of Sweden, we became Johnson Pumps Zimbabwe and, more recently,  Cochrane Pumps Zimbabwe (Pvt.) Ltd.
