Verdermag Production Now Established at Packo in Belgium

Packo, part of Verder Liquids, has announced that production of Verdermag magnetic drive pumps is now fully integrated into its manufacturing facility in Diksmuide, Belgium.

The move marks another important milestone in the continued development of Packo as a leading centre of excellence for stainless steel centrifugal pump technology and process solutions. It also reinforces the wider manufacturing capabilities of Verder Liquids, helping the group further strengthen its position within the global industrial pump market.

Strengthening Pump Manufacturing Expertise

Following the successful integration of the Verderhus screw centrifugal pump production in 2025, the latest development further establishes Packo as a competence centre for stainless steel centrifugal pumps. 

By bringing Verdermag pump production into the Diksmuide facility, the company is consolidating specialist engineering expertise, manufacturing efficiency and product innovation under one roof.

The transition supports Verder Liquids’ long-term strategy of investing in advanced pump manufacturing technologies while continuing to meet growing customer demand across multiple process industries, including chemical processing, food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, water treatment and other demanding industrial applications.

Proven Magnetic Drive Pump Technology

Verdermag magnetic drive pumps are widely recognised for their reliable performance in challenging operating environments. With more than 20 years of proven use in demanding applications, the pumps are designed to enable safe and leak-free handling of aggressive, corrosive and hazardous liquids.

Their hermetically sealed magnetic drive construction removes the requirement for traditional mechanical seals, helping operators reduce maintenance demands whilst improving operational reliability and safety. This design approach is particularly valuable in industries where process containment, environmental protection and reduced downtime are critical operational priorities.

As manufacturers continue to focus on efficiency, sustainability and workplace safety, magnetic drive pump technology is becoming increasingly important across a broad range of industrial fluid handling applications.

Smooth Transition to Belgium Production

The first Verdermag pumps have already been successfully assembled at the Diksmuide manufacturing site, demonstrating a smooth and efficient production transition. The integration combines Verdermag’s established pump technology with Packo’s extensive experience in stainless steel pump engineering and hygienic process systems.

This collaboration creates a strong platform for future product development, operational growth and continued innovation in industrial pumping solutions. It also allows Verder Liquids to further optimise production capabilities whilst maintaining the high standards of quality and reliability customers expect from the Verdermag brand.

Supporting Innovation and Customer-Focused Solutions

By centralising expertise and production capabilities within Belgium, Packo is well positioned to continue developing advanced pump technologies tailored to the evolving needs of global process industries.

“This milestone reflects our ambition to keep advancing with innovative, customer-focused solutions while delivering high-quality pump technologies worldwide,” said Danny Maenhout, Managing Director of Packo.

The continued investment in manufacturing and engineering capabilities demonstrates Verder Liquids’ commitment to supporting industrial customers with reliable pumping systems designed for safety, efficiency and long-term operational performance.
