1920
POMPES BODIN,
100 years of pumps made in France
In 1920, André Bodin, a manufacturer in Bléré (Indre-et-Loire), founded Pompes André Bodin. His first lever-operated and motor-driven pumps were used for racking wine and irrigation. They laid the foundations of industrial expertise that has remained rooted in the region ever since.
Over the decades, the company expanded into wastewater pumping and formed Groupe Bodin with Pompes Mengin. BODIN developed recognised innovations: the high-efficiency vortex impeller, FLEXOPAL® flexible-impeller pumps for industry and the microprocessor-controlled piston wine pump.
Today, Pompes André Bodin alone continues the business at its historic site in Bléré. It designs and manufactures pumps for wastewater and industry.
In October 2026, Technirel, a French manufacturer of pumping stations since 2003, acquired the company. POMPES BODIN remains an independent company, retaining its identity, teams and Bléré site. With Technirel’s support, it is investing in renewed growth, new products and new markets.
Together, the two companies offer pumping stations made entirely in France, including the pump.
Designed in Bléré
The design office,
close to the workshop
Our design office is based at the Bléré site. The liquid, flow rate, discharge head and installation conditions provide the starting point for every design.
Vortex, channel or grinder impeller: the hydraulic choices are refined around your application, in direct contact with the manufacturing teams.
The workshop journal
The right touch
Every part in its place
Designing, assembling, checking. Expertise shows in the details before it becomes part of every pump.
01 / Assembly
Working as one
From mechanical parts to the pump assembly, a sequence of precise operations.
02 / Machining
Material takes shape
From the raw casting to machined surfaces, each operation prepares the component for assembly.
03 / Understanding
In contact with the liquid
Cast-iron vortex, copper-aluminium vortex and stainless-steel impellers: the shape and material are selected for the application.
Our Bléré site
Bléré, our home
since 1920
Since its foundation, POMPES BODIN has designed and manufactured its pumps in Bléré, Indre-et-Loire, in the heart of the Loire Valley, close to Tours.
Design, production and sales teams share a single site. This allows us to follow every pump from design to dispatch, through machining, assembly and testing.
Following Technirel’s acquisition in October 2026, production remains in Bléré. New investment will modernise manufacturing facilities and strengthen the teams, so that robust, long-lasting pumps continue to be made in France.
