About Us
Continental Pump Company was established in late 1946 by George F Heath Sr. in St. Louis, Mo., as his main avenue to manufacture the pumps that intrigued him. Mr. Heath had worked in the pump business for many years. With the arrangement of a handful of Manufacturers representatives throughout the country in the pump industry, they traded experience, became good friends and business partners. Then along came the success story of this company.
George F. Heath Company a company established in 1952 to market Continental Pump Co in “Helical Screw Pumps” initially, but subsequently and currently “Progressive Cavity Pumps”. There were other pumps as well, such as Shallow Well Pumps, Submersible Pumps and the so-called Utililty Pump line now known as the CP Models.
 A Complete Line of Progressing Cavity Pumps for the Commercial Wastewater and Industrial Markets Continental made parts and pumps interchangeable with Moyno. “It was not just Pumps and Parts to be substituted, but the long knowledge of application that we have to pass on and share with the Industry that required the unique “Helical Screw Principal”. Continental was not just offering a Pump, but more the solving the problems of moving liquids, slurries, pastes, sludges and waste materials that only can be effectively and economically handled by Progressing Cavity Pumps. When a pump can eliminate buckets, shovels, scoops, conveyors and back work and if it is properly designed, manufactured and applied it can fulfill a needed solution to hundreds of Industry’s tough material handling problems” as Mr. Heath is quoted in saying. This is the reason why we have specialized in this particular pump.
Continental Pump started with 50 distributors with initial stock of CP Model Pumps with the arrangement to sell the CL line without stocking them. Today we have grown our distributor family to over 800 distributors worldwide. We pride ourselves in our manufacturing and delivery of our pumps and parts to our distributors, Industrial and Commercial Users and Original Equipment Manufacturers in addition to Contractors, Utility and Municipal Plants.
We offer a complete line of Progressing Cavity Pumps for the commercial wastewater and industrial markets. Our goal is to offer quality products and service at a competitive price. Our success is supported by a long standing relationship with quality, service oriented sales staff and a commitment to helping our valued customers and distributors. We strive to keep you informed by providing all the materials and knowledge we have to offer through our staff and engineers.
