The factory first established its foundry and mechanical workshop in 1882
At the beginning of the Second World War, the factory was occupied by the Army and changed its profile into arms production. The factory produced pieces for machine guns, for bombs and small campaign kitchens
In 1945, at the Annual General Meeting, the board decided that the old factory should be repositioned. Frequent fires that affected Bucharest in 1945-1946 created an opportunity for shareholders, who perceive the market needs and begin to manufacture pumps for fire extinguishing.
By 1950 Aversa had evolved to specialize in the production of a wide range of pumps for the industrial, agricultural and energy fields
In 1955, the first prototype workshop was established and the testing stand created
After several mergers, the company changes its name into “ Uzina de Pompe Bucuresti” in 1965 and focused exclusively on pump manufacturing and manufacturing spare parts for pumps
In 1977 there were over 3,800 employees working in the factory. They achieved the largest production in Aversa’s history: 75,555 pumps in one year.
Starting with 1985, the company was certified and started to deliver pumps for Cernavoda Nuclear Plant and Apa Grea (Heavy Water Plant) in Drobeta Turnu Severin.
As a supplier of goods and services for Romania’s nuclear facility (CNE-Cernavoda), Aversa implemented in 1982 a Quality Assurance System for nuclear stations pumps of CANDU type.
During 1980 – 1991, over 80% of the production was exported, the highest level of exports in the companies history
