The South African Pumps Manufacturers’ Association (known as Sapma) was established in 1963 with the aim of representing pump manufacturers and the allied industries in the manufacturing industry through SEIFSA. The association has around 40 members, including the six largest pump manufacturers in the country as well as companies in the allied industries, such as mechanical sealing and electric motors.

The pump manufacturing industry in South Africa is diverse, ranging from the tiny pumps used in the pharmaceutical industry to the massive slurry pumps used in the mines. While most pumps from swimming pool pumps to the giant water works pumps are centrifugal pumps, the industry also manufactures positive displacement pumps and submersible pumps.
The industry also covers a large number of allied industries that provide the essential ancillary equipment. Mechanical sealing and electrical motors are essential parts of a pump, and so the suppliers of these components plan an important part in the pump manufacturing industry.
