Newfoundland and Labrador’s pump industry is heavily influenced by its offshore oil and gas activities and challenging marine environment. Offshore oil platforms rely on high-performance pumps to manage drilling fluids, transport oil and gas, and handle produced water. These pumps must be capable of operating under extreme pressures and in corrosive environments, necessitating the use of advanced materials like stainless steel and duplex alloys. Additionally, the province’s onshore oil terminals and refineries require a variety of pumps for crude oil processing, storage, and distribution.

Onshore, the pump industry supports municipal infrastructure projects, such as water supply, sewage treatment, and stormwater management. Given the province’s harsh winters and frequent exposure to saltwater, there is a high demand for corrosion-resistant pumps that can withstand freezing temperatures and corrosive conditions. The province’s growing focus on sustainable development and renewable energy also drives demand for innovative pumping solutions, such as geothermal heat pumps and pumps used in hydropower generation.
