We originated in Mackay, with Trevor starting as a sole operator developing the local market and establishing his business on the foundations of finding solutions and old-fashioned customer service. While the years have gone by and Trevor is now retired, Dowdens Pumping has grown into a statewide organisation with + 180 employees; however, the founding principles of the business remain the same – solutions and customer-focused.

We are now known as Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment to acknowledge our Pumping and Water Treatment capabilities fully. Our strength is our ability to provide expert advice to offer our customers’ specifically designed or purpose engineered equipment offering practical and efficient solutions to most, if not all, pumping and water treatment applications.
