The company was established, by its founder Amadio CAPRARI, in 1945 in Rolo, in the province of Reggio Emilia, to manufacture pumps mainly in Agriculture for irrigation purposes.

Later, a strategic choice was made to move the company’s headquarters to Modena, thus placing it in the centre of one of Italy’s most important industrial districts.

1968 marked the launch of the first series of submersible electric pumps for deep clean water, a product range that still represents the heart of the company today. Caprari has pioneered a broad range of solutions for various different applications.

Steady growth saw the opening of several international branches, the first in France, followed by Spain, the UK, Germany, Portugal, Australia, Greece, Tunisia, and China. Today, we can depend on an extensive network of distributors and partners worldwide, giving us a presence in more than 96 countries.

In 1986, Caprari acquired a factory in the province of Modena, dedicated to the production of submersible motors, to make their electric pumps even more efficient. The company also further expanded its product range by introducing a series of submersible pumps for wastewater.

Also, with a view to Customer centricity, it created Italy’s first pump selection software, opened its own Training Centre to train its customers’ staff, and was one of the first Italian companies to obtain integrated certification.

Always new products for new applications thanks to investments in R&D, such as the ENDURANCE series, in micro-cast steel, for use in heavy duty applications such as Mining and Offshore, and the ENERGY series, which makes energy saving its strong point.

Many international patents have been developed that have decreed the Caprari’s brand leadership and continued reputation, such as the DryWet System cooling system, which makes the K+ series submersible pump the best solution for wastewater management.
