MacEwans History

MacEwans was originally founded by James Ballantyne MacEwan and his brother George Harrington MacEwan in 1896.

Over the years, MacEwans has grown, evolved and even diversified into other functions but kept the strong focus on the Pumping Industry. A prominant reputation was earned and respected and MacEwans became the success it still is today.

There has always been such pride and dedication of what MacEwans could offer customers, that MacEwans Pumping Systems Ltd was formed in 1992 to represent strong and specific solutions to pumping systems by utilising our very experienced, knowledgeable and committed team.
