Olin Engineering Inc., founded by Dave Swain in 1975, specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality pumps and driveline upgrades, particularly for mechanical Thomsen and Mayco grout pumps. The company initially made its mark in the Southern California market by ensuring that its driveline assemblies delivered exceptional durability, guaranteeing no failure throughout the pump's life. By combining innovative manifold upgrades, Olin Engineering significantly improved output—by as much as 50%—and introduced enhancements such as the o-ring piston and splash-type lubrication, leading to lower horsepower consumption and better performance.
In 1979, responding to a customer's need for a specialized hydraulic small line ball valve pump, Olin began to expand its product offering, leading to the creation of the first nitrogen-backed surge chamber for concrete pumps. This innovation set the stage for the future success of the Olinpump line, which quickly gained a reputation in various commercial markets. Their diesel hydraulic ball valve pumps are celebrated for efficiently handling high-sack, low-slump, small aggregate structural mixes, making them ideal for demanding applications like oil well cementing and foundation projects across North America and beyond.
Today, Olin Engineering continues to uphold its commitment to quality and performance, providing a diverse range of pumps that cater to an array of applications, from shotcrete operations in Scandinavia to intricate cementing tasks in Florida and even faux rock installations in Dubai. With over 48 years of experience, Olin remains proudly American-owned and operated, offering world-class solutions that consistently outperform competitors in reliability and efficiency. Their innovative designs and focus on customer satisfaction have solidified their position as a leader in the pump manufacturing industry.
