Leading pump and mixer manufacturer Landia has marked a major milestone, completing the sale of its 100,000th unit.

A Century of Manufacturing Excellence

Founded in 1933, Landia has built a reputation for the longevity and reliability of its equipment. From its early days producing slurry pumps for farmers, the company now designs and manufactures pumps and mixers for a variety of sectors, including municipal wastewater treatment, biogas, and the food industry, while maintaining close ties with the farming community.

In 1950, Landia developed the world’s first Chopper Pump, a design that remains highly effective for managing challenging effluents and slurries. Today, the Chopper Pump is central to their aeration system (AirJet) and GasMix biogas digester mixing system.

Tailor-Made Solutions for Every Customer

Liz Robinson, Landia UK’s Operations Executive, highlighted the company’s bespoke approach.

ā€œWe know that there are some big manufacturers in our industry with very high volumes of sales,ā€ she said, ā€œbut we don’t sell off-the-shelf. We build to order. Every pump and mixer matters, and is traceable back to the individual skilled craftsman who built it. Landia engineers take huge pride in building truly reliable products of top quality.ā€

She added: ā€œReaching this major milestone in the company’s history with tailor-made solutions for the precise needs of our customers is therefore all the more remarkable. As a company, we continue to grow year-on-year.ā€

The 100,000th Unit

The 100,000th Landia unit, a DG-I 80 4.0kW 1500rpm submersible chopper pump, is enroute to a leading fluid handling solutions provider in the Midlands, which supplies, installs, and maintains pumping systems across the UK.

Global Reach

Landia now operates worldwide, with bases in the UK, Germany, China, and the United States, alongside its head office in Denmark. The company continues to provide custom-built solutions while expanding its international presence.
