Börger's new mobile Powerlift
Separator can be built to suit a specific application
back in 2006 when I went to see Thames Water at Mogden. I put the cutaway model of my demo Börger pump on the table when I arrived, but after a long journey had to make a dash for the loo before we could start the meeting. When I came back, the guys from Thames said: ‘How long have you got? Do you want to grab your high-viz from your car? We’ve got some pump jobs for you to look at.’
Unbeknownst to me, they’d taken the Börger model apart and put it back together again before I’d got back to the meeting room!
You didn’t get stuck in the loo did you!?
DB: No, thank goodness. The guys from Thames just loved the fact that our Rotary Lobe Pump was so simple, and that it had ‘Maintenance-In-Place design’, so would be very easy to service. I put together the quotes that evening on the laptop in my humble hotel room. We won three of the four contracts that were on offer; one of the orders being for 16 pumps, so that really was our big breakthrough, which put us on an even more solid footing.
And progress later into another industry too?
DB: Yes with biogas, for about the past 68
10 years. We now sell lots of separators, feeders and pumps to AD sites, from farms to food-waste-to energy plants, and of course, pumps & macerators to the water industry.
After these past 20 years David, what keeps you going and wanting to keep taking Börger forward?
DB: For me, the wide variety of applications always makes it interesting and challenging, so every day is different.

And the future for Börger and Börger UK?
DB: Naturally, I’d like to add some more millions to the turnover – wouldn’t we all (!) – but two decades on I still see that it’s all to play for. Börger is a very strong, family-run company with great products. The business has come a long, long way since it started in 1975, selling all over the world with eight firmly established subsidiaries. I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved since starting with a blank order book back in 2004, and I know we can continue to grow.
