A Legacy of Fire Protection Excellence
For more than a century, AC Fire Pump has helped shape the fire protection industry.Our story traces back to 1901, marking the beginning of one of the longest-running legacies in fire pump technology. From the earliest days of modern fire protection, AC was not simply following industry standards, it was helping establish them.
With its first UL listing achieved by 1917 and the official labeling of its first fire pumps in the 1930s, AC established a reputation for engineering excellence, hydraulic performance, and reliability that has endured for generations.
More Than a Century of Engineering Heritage
Throughout its history, AC Fire Pump has evolved alongside the industries, infrastructure, and communities it serves.
For more than 125 years, continuous engineering development, manufacturing expertise, and a deep understanding of fire protection applications have helped establish AC Fire Pump as one of the oldest and most recognized fire pump brands in the world.
Through decades of technological and industrial change, one principle has remained constant: delivering dependable pumping solutions for systems designed to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure.
