The acquisition adds Pioneer dewatering pumps, a Surrey repair facility, and more than 25 years of water and slurry pumping expertise.
We’re proud to share that HMFT has acquired Canadian Industrial Pumps (CIP), a well-established pump distributor and service provider based in Surrey, British Columbia. Since 2000, CIP has served customers in mining, construction, municipal water, aggregate, and oil and gas, supplying and servicing the water, wastewater, and slurry pumps their operations depend on.
“CIP’s team knows water and slurry pumping inside and out, and they take the same pride in service that HMFT has built its reputation on,” said Robert McKay, CEO of HMFT. “Together, we bring customers across Western Canada a stronger pump lineup and a larger service team that understands their operations.”
Welcoming CIP Customers to HMFT
We’re glad to welcome the CIP team to HMFT. The acquisition closed in September 2026, and existing CIP customers can continue working with the same Surrey team through the transition.
The CIP website, cipumps.com, will eventually redirect visitors to HMFT.
CIP customers with questions about an existing order, repair, or service can reach the Surrey team at (604) 591-5055 or sales@cipumps.com.
Water, Wastewater, and Slurry Pumps from CIP
CIP’s product range expands HMFT’s offering for demanding water applications, including:
- Submersible pumps for drainage, wastewater, and slurry
- Centrifugal pumps, including self-priming, trash, and split-case designs
- Electric and diesel-driven pump packages for dewatering and water transfer
CIP also supplies related equipment, including variable frequency drives (VFDs), control panels, floats, and hoses.
Expanded Pump Repair and Service in British Columbia
CIP’s Surrey shop stocks pumps and critical spare parts and repairs a wide range of brands, including those it doesn’t sell. HMFT takes the same approach, with technicians who repair most industrial pump brands at service centers throughout Canada.
With CIP's team joining HMFT, customers in British Columbia gain additional local capacity for submersible pump repairs and service for dewatering and slurry equipment.
Pioneer Dewatering Pumps Join HMFT’s Lineup
HMFT now offers Pioneer, a Franklin Electric brand specializing in dewatering pump packages. Pioneer designs its systems for demanding, often temporary or remote work, where they move large volumes of water at mine sites, construction excavations, and oil and gas sites.
Pioneer’s lineup includes vacuum-assisted Pioneer Prime pumps and wet-prime pumps, which come in diesel- or electric-driven skid and trailer packages. They handle both clean water and water carrying solids, and customers use them for:
- Mine and construction dewatering
- Frac-water transfer
- Sewer bypass pumping
- Flood control and industrial water transfer
Customers in British Columbia and Alberta can now buy Pioneer pump packages and parts from HMFT and rely on our team for service.
Along with Pioneer, CIP brings Sulzer submersible dewatering and sludge pumps for British Columbia and Alberta, as well as BJM, Stancor, Schurco Slurry, Landustrie, and AMT.
