Our Quality Began in the Space Program
Quality workmanship has always been a priority for Weber Industries.
That quality was recognized in the 1950s and early 1960s when Weber Industries was contracted by various aircraft and space technology firms to provide components for fighter jets, and the bilge pump for the first U.S. manned satellites produced by McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics. Weber received numerous awards from the U.S. Government as well as various military and space contractors for quality workmanship and dependability.
Today that same quality is still present in the Webtrol line of surface and submersible pumps manufactured every day for commercial, industrial, and agricultural industries. Every industrial pump is hand assembled and put through our Quality Assurance Testing where pump performance, as well as electrical specs, are verified before shipping to our customers.
