Our business journey began in Amarillo, Texas in 1979 operating under the chartered name Amarillo Pump & Supply Co. Our founding focus was to serve the groundwater industry as the best value-added pump supplier. Since then, we have continued to grow our technical skills, product and service offerings, served markets, and geographic coverage through the investments of business expansions and acquisitions. Due to company growth, we have operated under distinctive business names in various markets such as Amarillo Pump & Supply Co., APSCO, Desert Pump & Supply, and formally Global Pumps & Equipment. Companies that have been acquired include Desert Pump & Supply, Flo Mechanical, and JV Tube & Shaft.
On August 24, 2009, we adopted our newly registered trade name, Gicon Pumps & Equipment, to uniquely identify our company to our most valued asset, the customers we serve.
In 2021, Gicon Pumps & Equipment was acquired by Headwater Companies. We now have 6 locations serving the Texas market.
