The Nash Engineering Company was founded in 1905 in Norwalk, Connecticut as a manufacturer of liquid ring vacuum pumps.
History
[edit]During the early years, NASH developed vacuum stream heating systems and vacuum sewage collection systems for many of the growing USA cities. NASH also developed vacuum pumps[1][2] which were applied in the manufacture of pulp and paper and in the sugar industry.[3][4][5] During the mid-20th century, NASH continued expanding into industrial markets such as paper, power, petrochemical, general industrial and food markets.[6]
In the early 1960s Nash discontinued sales for commercial markets – vacuum steam heating and sewage collection – to concentrate on the industrial markets. Constant growth continued up to the U.S. recession in 1982. D
In 2002, Nash Engineering attracted private equity finance from Audax (Boston) and merged with Siemens to become Nash Elmo. A 2004 acquisition by Gardner Denver Inc. resulted in Gardner Denver Nash.
