AlfaOBL America, the North American division of Italian pump manufacturer AlfaOBL, has launched manufacturing operations at its facility in Plano, reintroducing the company’s Blackline pump line and aiming to set a new industry standard with “48-hour guaranteed fulfillment” on its core product offering.
Located at 1000 Jupiter Road in Plano, the new facility “is fully operational and strategically positioned to meet the growing demand across the United States,” the company said.
AlfaOBL specializes in mechanical diaphragm and plunger metering pumps, delivers flow rates from 7 to 1,500 liters per hour, working pressures up to 1,450 psig, and viscosity handling up to 50,000 cps. The company said its Blackline series features “advanced control options, engineered to meet the needs of water treatment, chemical processing, oil and gas, and critical infrastructure sectors—including the rapidly growing data center market.”
“At AlfaOBL America, we’re addressing one of the industry’s biggest pain points: extended lead times and rising prices,” Managing Director Raul Aguilar said in a statement. “By maintaining finished goods inventory and implementing a just-in-time fulfillment model, we’re not only speeding things up—we’re guaranteeing it.”
The company said its expansion to North Texas reflects its global strategy to bring its world-class manufacturing capabilities closer to customers. Overall production remains centered in Milan, Italy, overseen by Daniele Di Cesare, president of AlfaOBL Italy.
“Our investment in the North American market demonstrates our long-term commitment to quality, innovation, and service,” Di Cesare said in a statement. “This launch allows us to better support customers with local delivery, rapid response times, and the same engineering excellence AlfaOBL is known for worldwide.”
AlfaOBL America said along with the Plano manufacturing launch, it’s actively building its distributor network and strengthening strategic relationships across vertical markets.
