Our Story

Riverside Pumps isn't just a business; it's a legacy built on a foundation of quality, durability, and performance. Our roots stretch back to 1959 when Jerry B. Leach, a dedicated entrepreneur, started his journey as a Homelite pump dealer. In those early years, he witnessed firsthand the exceptional quality of Homelite pumps, their ability to withstand the toughest demands, and their long-lasting reliability. This admiration grew into a desire to not only offer these exceptional pumps but to ensure their continued excellence for generations to come.

This passion led him to acquire the Homelite pump product line in 2002. This acquisition included not only the well-established designs but also the blueprints, tools, and knowledge needed to keep producing the pumps that industrial workers, farmers, contractors, and government agencies had come to rely upon. With unwavering commitment, in 2003, Jerry B. Leach and his team built the first Riverside Pump, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the saga of these legendary products. The name Riverside reflected the company's origins in Cheraw, South Carolina, a town known for its scenic riverside location, just as the pump's performance was known for its reliability and resilience.
