L5 SCREW PUMPS
Leistritz is the first address when it comes to the application of screw pumps. After all, the company, with its headquarters in Nuremberg, is one of the pioneers in the field of screw pumps: more than 90 years ago, it was Paul Leistritz, who used the twin screw pump for the first time to pump lube oil for steam turbine bearings. What started out small in 1924 is now a globally active company with more than 300 employees, which has the widest product range in the field of screw pumps. Leistritz Pump Technology has branches in all important markets, such as the USA, China, Singapore, Dubai, India and Italy. Leistritz customers benefit from valuable know-how in various industries and applications.
