Company History

Experience you can trust.

RMS Pump was started in 2002 by Jon Repp and Larry McQuaw. Jon was a second-generation pump mechanic, he spent 13 years working with his father at Queen Pump Company before he went to work at PACO Pumps in Portland Oregon. It is there where he met Larry McQuaw. Larry had 4 years in the US Air Force operating sewage and water plants and 29 years at PACO before he and Jon met. Jon and Larry spent the next 12 years working side by side before parting ways with PACO and starting RMS Pump.

At RMS we work with many companies all over the State of Oregon and Washington, including fire protection companies, government agencies, municipalities, apartment complexes, sewage and domestic water.
