50 Years of YAMADA Diaphragm Pumps
In 2026, YAMADA celebrates a remarkable milestone: 50 years of delivering reliable diaphragm pump performance to industries around the world. As part of YAMADA Corporation, we are proud to contribute to this international success story, where quality, reliability, and collaboration are at the core.
How it all began
In 1976, the first YAMADA AODD pump was launched. These pumps played an important role in the growth of industry in Japan. Soon after, the product range expanded. In 1979, YAMADA introduced the first complete line of AODD pumps in Asia, available in various sizes and materials.
Continuous improvement
YAMADA has never stood still. In 1981, a specialized pump for the semiconductor industry was developed. In the years that followed, key improvements were introduced, such as the redesigned NDP series in 1994 and sensor-controlled pumps in 1995.
Innovation continued in later years. This includes pumps designed for handling solids, as well as models optimized for specific operating conditions. In 2016, the Global Series was introduced, offering a strong balance between performance and price. In 2024, the NDP-500 series was launched: the most powerful 2-inch pump in its class.
Worldwide success
Today, YAMADA has grown into a global brand:
- More than 1,000,000 pumps sold
- Over 150 different models
- Active in more than 80 countries
This success is driven by customer trust and a continuous focus on quality.
