Mouvex celebrates 120 years making eccentric disc pumps
Mouvex, a leading manufacturer of positive displacement pumps, is celebrating its 120-year anniversary in 2026.
Headquartered in Auxerre, France, Mouvex was founded in 1906 by engineer André Petit. Recognizing the limitations of gear and lobe pumps available at the time, Petit invented an entirely new solution: the eccentric disc pump, a design that would become the foundation of the company’s legacy.
“Innovation has been part of Mouvex since day one,” said Brian Battle, vice president, industrial business unit at PSG. “When André Petit invented the eccentric disc pump, he didn’t just solve a problem. He set a new standard for advancing our technology, enabling operators to run applications with greater safety, efficiency and reliability.”
As demand for high-performing pump technologies grew, Mouvex expanded its reach beyond France. A key milestone came in 1997 when Mouvex joined Dover Corporation, further strengthening its global footprint. In 2009, Mouvex became part of PSG, a broader portfolio of pump and flow control brands, positioning the company to serve customers across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.
Today, Mouvex is a global supplier of positive displacement pumps and compressors for transferring liquids and dry bulk products across the hygienic, chemical, energy, military and transport industries.
“Celebrating 120 years is more than marking a milestone. It reflects our passion for supporting our customers and the industries we serve,” Battle added. “We are proud of the legacy behind the Mouvex name and excited about the future as we continue developing technologies that help operators get more out of their production with less effort and less time.”
