In 1972, Ray Simon founded the Giant Towel Company. These towels were sold throughout North America to car wash OEM’s and distributors. In the mid-1970’s, Ray became the North American distributor for the German pump manufacturer Speck Kolbenpumpen Fabrik. Speck provided a unique line of pumps and accessories that gained quick acceptance for use by OEM’s and distributors in the pressure washer, car wash and sewer cleaning markets. These high quality German pump products became popular in many industrial applications as well.
To complement the German-made pumps and accessories, and to address some unique requirements for pumps and accessories in the North American market, Giant started to build its own line of accessories, including shut-off guns, accumulators and unloaders. As Giant’s products gained acceptance and the company expanded its product offerings, manufacturing requirements increased and the company acquired new facilities.
In the 1980’s, Giant began to provide pump and motor units for the pressure washer market. At the same time, Giant started to make more axial pumps in Toledo, which required further expansion and another facility. This current facility has allowed Giant to bring in machining centers and production lines to meet market demands. At their current location, Giant is able to manufacture its axial and plunger pumps, pump systems and line of towel products. As they continued to grow their manufacturing base, they also started to pursue existing markets in a more vertical manner. This has meant that they now provide pump systems for a variety of marketplaces. These custom-units help their customers concentrate on what makes them profitable. Currently, Giant provides pumps and pump systems that require more than 1000 HP to drive the pumps.
