Ingersoll Rand’s ARO® Brand Celebrates 80 Years of Industrial Success

The ARO brand is an important strategic asset of Ingersoll Rand’s Industrial Technologies Sector. It is prominently featured on all of the company’s fluid product lines, including air operated diaphragm and piston pumps, valves, cylinders, controls, and filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) products. Hundreds of thousands of ARO products are installed in countries around the world in applications ranging from chemical processing to mine dewatering.

Talking about ARO’s history in India, Jaideep Wadhwa, Vice President and General Manager, Industrial Technologies, Ingersoll Rand India said, “The ARO brand diaphragm and piston pumps were launched in India, by the parent company Ingersoll Rand, less than a decade ago but have quickly built a reputation as the most efficient and reliable pumps in the market. We are committed to expanding our presence in India and will continue to upgrade the portfolio. We will also be increasing our manufacturing footprint in India to be able to improve our lead times and responsiveness for our domestic customers.”
Incorporated on January 23, 1930 in Bryan, Ohio, USA, the ARO Equipment Corporation initially offered a line of lubrication equipment for automotive service garages and farming equipment. Following decades of expansion into new businesses including pumps, power tools, and material handling equipment, the ARO Corporation was acquired by Ingersoll Rand in 1990.
