This year, Stanadyne is celebrating a legacy of innovation that dates back 150 years to 1876.

From its start as the Hartford Machine Screw Company to its current position as a provider of advanced fuel systems, air management and remanufactured products, Stanadyne continues to reinvent itself through precision manufacturing, technology advancements and a commitment to providing optimum solutions across all industries, the company said.

Founded in Connecticut as a manufacturer of automatic screw machines during America's industrial age, Stanadyne evolved into a global leader in diesel and gasoline fuel systems through decades of groundbreaking innovation, according to the company. Then known as Standard Screw Company and acquired by Moen in 1937, the company helped shape modern fuel injection technology with milestones including the world's first diesel rotary pump in 1952, the DB Model Rotary Pump in 1958, the Pencil Nozzle Injector in 1963, and, after adopting the Stanadyne name in 1970, the world's first electronic rotary pump in 1993. As emissions standards tightened, the company introduced a 200-bar gasoline direct injection pump in 2006, followed by advanced 500-bar systems and high-performance motorsports fuel delivery technologies that have earned recognition from major OEMs.

Since its inception 150 years ago, Stanadyne has produced more than 40 million diesel pumps, more than 200 million diesel injectors and millions of gasoline direct injection pumps. Today, the company's global operations include advanced manufacturing and engineering centers in North Carolina, South Carolina, India and China, supported by expertise in combustion analysis, computational fluid dynamics, durability testing, thermal analysis and high-pressure fuel system development.

Stanadyne continued growing in 2019 with the acquisition of PurePower Technologies, expanding the company's capabilities in remanufactured diesel fuel systems and aftermarket support. Today, PurePower remanufactures hundreds of thousands of diesel components annually and keeps more than 500,000 lbs. of waste out of landfills each year through its reclamation and remanufacturing programs, the company said.

"For 150 years, Stanadyne has stood for innovation, quality, and excellence. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of our team, the strength of our partnerships, and the trusted products we deliver every day," said Rob Mallory, Stanadyne CEO. "Together, we celebrate our history with pride and look forward to continuing to power progress for generations to come."

Stanadyne's current engineering efforts include developing high-pressure fuel systems, support for low- and zero-carbon fuels, hydrogen-capable technologies and solutions aimed at reducing emissions in hard-to-electrify applications. Instead of viewing electrification as the end of internal combustion, Stanadyne sees an opportunity for smarter, cleaner propulsion systems that integrate current infrastructure realities with future environmental goals, the company said.
