Company

Overview

1920

Year Founded

The company was established in 1920, marking its journey as a century-old innovator in hydronic flow-control systems.

It engineers pumps, valves, tanks, heat exchangers and electronic controls for efficient water-driven solutions.
Originally focused on HVAC heating and cooling, it rebranded and diversified into plumbing, agriculture and industrial markets.
With global operations spanning North America, Europe and Asia, Taco claims a strong presence across diverse sectors.
Landmark projects include high‑efficiency ECM circulators (00e Series) and smart plumbing systems delivering instant hot water.
Strategic acquisitions—like Italian pump maker Askoll—expanded its reach into European hydronics.
Its Hydroflo division supplies robust pumps for irrigation, mining and agriculture, standing out in non‑comfort markets.
A privately held, family‑owned manufacturer, it blends U.S. production with global scale and tailored engineering solutions.
