Born from a 1918 precision-tooling company, Weldon Pump has manufactured custom fuel-system components—including pumps, motors and valves—for aviation, defense and industrial applications since its pump division began in 1942. Its wartime cam-vane de-icing pump supported B-24 Liberator aircraft and earned the Army-Navy “E” Award in 1944; today, the Ohio manufacturer combines custom engineering with FAA-, EASA- and CAA-certified repair capabilities. Weldon’s manufacturing and engineering facility is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D aerospace standards.
