At ARBO Pompen en Filters, we have recently taken another step forward in the development of our organisation. Paul de Haan has assumed the role of Managing Director, while Martijn van den Born, as Technical Director, will devote more of his attention to his passion: pump technology and innovation. It is a new division of responsibilities, but above all a natural continuation of the path we have embarked on together.

At the EUAC Conference 2026 in Hungary, ARBO Pompen en Filters, RDW Processing and ATO Energysaving once again joined forces under the Save My Aquarium banner. The international event confirmed that aquariums are looking for smart, cost-effective ways to modernise existing Life Support Systems (LSS). And that does not necessarily mean overhauling the entire system.

200,000 litres per hour. Per pump! Four impressive ARBO KR 125-250 pumps recently left our factory in Smilde, with GTL Europe in Venlo as their first destination. Their final destination? A new composting facility in China. An excellent example of an international project bringing together environmental technology, energy efficiency and reliable pumping solutions.

Not every application requires a standard immersible pump. In some installations, pumps are exposed to high temperatures, aggressive chemicals and demanding operating conditions where maximum reliability is essential. For these challenging processes, ARBO developed the HD-DO-L: a heavy-duty plastic immersion pump designed for long-term operation under the toughest conditions.

From a Long-Standing Relationship to Renewed Collaboration.

The past month within our organisation was dedicated to recertification – an important moment during which our way of working was once again critically assessed. We are proud to announce that we have successfully renewed our ISO 9001 certification and have once again achieved the UNIK certification.

Differences between DIN and ANSI flange standards can make pump replacements seem complex, but with the right approach, costly modifications are often avoidable.

Selecting a centrifugal pump goes far beyond basic specifications, as accurate data and real-world performance insights are key to ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.

The long-coupled design that fully succeeds the DO-TS-VDS-L

With the SumPro-L, ARBO introduces a completely new generation of long-coupled centrifugal immersible pumps for corrosive, abrasive and crystallising media.

ARBO and Indufinish combine their expertise in pump technology and surface treatment systems to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for demanding industrial processes.

About Zeolyst

More than 25 years ago, ARBO Pumps & Filters, through Georg Fischer, supplied the first pumps to Rolls-Royce Submarines Limited. The first installation was commissioned in 1990.

When collaboration runs smoothly and delivers the best results for clients, the logical next step is to join forces more formally. That is exactly what ARBO Pumps & Filters, RDW Processing, and ATO-Energysaving have done. Together, they form the one-stop shop SaveMyAquarium: the go-to address for all questions and solutions related to professional aquaria.

Happy are they at SeaLife in London.

Since 25 April 2025, Europe has added an extraordinary seal hospital: the brand-new World Heritage Centre (WEC) in Lauwersoog.

On 21 May 2025 ARBO Pumps and Filters celebrates its 71st anniversary.
