We are more than a Pumping Technology Company, We at EKKI view the Family Business as a Force for Good. Sustainability is the foundation on which EKKI has been built. As a family business company, EKKI puts great emphasis on responsible action and a long-term vision.

Our saga started in 1981. A few members of the Arumugam family, themselves agriculturists, made a humble start by manufacturing Agri pumps that virtually boosted the green revolution in India. The pumps that they had manufactured for irrigating the crops ushered in an era that eased the toil of the common farmer in the field. Our company has evolved during these decades by absorbing modernisation and by constantly reinventing itself.

Today our Pumps & Systems help draw; transport water; thereby promote the well-being of people involved in Agriculture, Building Services, Public Utilities and Industries globally.
