Change in the Northern Sales Region
On September 1, 2020, we bid farewell to Mr. Joachim Presting as he entered his well-deserved retirement.
We thank him for his many years of successful work for ORPU and oddesse. We wish him all the best for the future.

Use on board
ORPU and oddesse pumps and motors are increasingly being used in the offshore and shipbuilding sectors. Our customers appreciate the reliability of our products in terms of performance and durability.
The ORPU ES and KM sewage pumps, as well as the side channel and submersible motor compressors, are used in sewage treatment on board ships and on offshore platforms. The po-upl propeller pumps, the po-SÖFFEL dirty water pumps, and, above all, the proven po-so/ss submersible motor pumps are suitable for a wide variety of systems for pumping sea and brackish water.
All products are certified in accordance with DNV GL – Maritime or ABS, two of the largest internationally recognized ship and offshore classification societies.
