About Kevin Bowen

I\'ve been employed with Patterson Pump now for over 35 years. We were acquired by our parent company The Gorman Rupp Company in 1988. Gorman Rupp is headquartered in Mansfield Ohio. During my career, we have expanded our Toccoa, Ga facility five times to almost sq\' feet of manufacturing floor space. We have upgraded and purchased over 20 large CNC machine tools. Patterson also acquired Flo-Pak a pumping systems company in Atlanta in 2001 and since located it to our campus in Toccoa, Ga. I look forward to expanding my experience as Patterson Pump & Gorman Rupp continue focusing on growth and market share. Patterson Pump provides pumps for fire protection, flood control, booster, agricultural and municipal markets. We also provide heavy fabrication and machining to the custom pump markets. At present we currently employ approximately 380 people. We also have international Sales offices located in Greece, and the Pacific Rim with reps throughout the world. Patterson Ireland supports both sales and manufacturing to Europe from our facility in Mullingar, Ireland.
