Franklin Electric is a leading manufacturer of submersible pumps, fueling systems and other applications such as submersible electric motors & center pivot irrigation systems.
Until 2004, Franklin Electric was primarily a supplier to OEMs such as ITT/Goulds and Pentair.

As a way to create system solutions that bring value to Franklin's customers over the past several years Franklin has made a series of strategic acquisitions in the water pumping industry. These acquisitions include The Little Giant Pump Company, JBD (formerly the pump line of Jacuzzi), Monarch Pumps, Centrifugal pump lines from Pioneer Pump, CAL pumps, Western Pump, Schneider Motobombas, Denorco Pumps, and a controlling share of Vertical Pumps of Italy. Franklin Electric has successfully changed its focus to being the global leader of ground water pumping products.
