Oxford Alumnus’ Startup KOOT Launches Globally in Pump and Drive Sector

KOOT, founded by an Oxford University alumnus, has announced its global launch as an industry-first platform for the pump and motor sector, spanning design, research, development, and precision manufacturing. The company also received the European PIA Supplier Award, recognising its engineering innovation. 

 Backed by a group with over 40 years of legacy and sales across 25 countries, KOOT has built partnerships with leading global players. Its integrated platform covers design, development, manufacturing, supply chain and after-sales, positioning KOOT as the “Foxconn of the Pump and Drive Industry.” 

 “At KOOT, we are redefining how the pump and drive industries can co-create, co-innovate, and scale,” the KOOT team said. “Winning the European PIA Supplier Award in our launch year is not just a recognition of our capabilities, but a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of innovation and engineering excellence.” 

KOOT supplies components including impellers, casings, shafts, stators, rotors, and sub-assemblies to OEMs such as HOMA (Germany), Pedrollo Group (Italy), and Hitachi (Japan). With technology and support centres in Germany, the US and India, and its manufacturing HQ in India, the company is also in discussions with global OEMs for strategic alliances.
