Our History
1959
T-T began as Vanroy, founded on March 17th as a general engineering company in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
70's
1970
Vanroy branched out into the pump market and began distributing for Thrige Titan, a Danish electronics company founded back in 1894.
1978
Thrige Titan bought out Vanroy, who consisted of 43 team members at the time.
1979
Vanroy won their biggest project to date – the Lindsay Coast Scheme for Anglian Water and the Teign Estuary Scheme, two large-scale sewerage system upgrades with a combined total worth of £50 million. Multiple pumping stations were supplied to replace old equipment that couldn't manage the growing population.
80's
1983
Vanroy began to design and manufacture control systems, allowing for continued and steady growth in the water management supply chain.
1984
Vanroy rebranded and became T-T!
1987
The team noticed a valve-shaped gap in the market and decided to fill it by designing and manufacturing valves and Aqua Flow® was born.
1988
In 1988 we expanded our divisions further establishing a dedicated controls division, T-T Controls®.
1989
New management, new focus...
The business was acquired by the current active owners, returning T-T to full British ownership.
This marked a significant turning point for the brand as the team began focusing on supplying quality pumps, pumping stations, control panels and electrical monitoring systems.
90's
1990
Pumping Station Contracts rebranded to T-T Projects, consolidating their pumping station services under the trusted T-T name and offering customers a more unified approach to their schemes. The division was later rebranded as T-T Pumping Stations®.
1991
T-T became the sole UK distributor for Italian manufacturer Zenit, a proud partnership that we still hold to this date.
1993
T-T® began working with the London underground, initially supplying control panels and going on to provide and install pumps.
1994
In 1994 we expanded our manufacturing efforts with the design and production of our E-Flow range of sewage pumps.
1999
With 25 employees and a turnover of £1.2 million, it was time to expand. We moved to our current location in Woore, South Cheshire; a 7-acre site with 11,000 sq. feet of works and warehouse space.
T-T’s long-standing Planet® Range of package pumping stations was also launched this year.
00's
2004
In 2004 Aqua Flow® merged with T-T and was rebranded as T-T Flow®. Allowing us to offer a more comprehensive range of water management products and services to our customers.
T-T also became the sole UK distributor for Cri-Man products, allowing us to provide cutting-edge pumping and agricultural solutions.
2006
Planet® Range of package pumping stations received BBA accreditation. The range's accreditation has been renewed ever since, without a single failed tank out of the 9000+ sold.
2009
We reached an incredible milestone as we celebrated T-T's 50th anniversary! To mark the occasion, we gave back to the environment by planting trees to show our commitment to sustainability and help preserve our planet for future generations.
That same year, T-T Service® was formed - a division dedicated to providing expert pump maintenance and repair services.
10's
2011
In 2011 we invested in a brand-new service and repair centre workshop, complete with a 3-tonne lifting crane and full test facilities separate from the clean water amenities.
We also appeared on Grand Designs, providing a unique package pumping station for the conversion of the Tenby Lifeboat station.
2012
In response to growing demands for agricultural products, we established T-T Agricultural and Environmental®, expanding our product offerings to meet the needs of our customers in this sector.
T-T was also supplied a top-of-the-line booster set for the Olympic hockey pitch at the London 2012 Olympics.
2013
T-T went to Glastonbury where a T-T booster set was installed at the 2013 Glastonbury festival, cooling and cleaning the solar panels that help to power the yearly music event.
2014
In 2014 following the success of our booster sets we launched the Hidro Boost®, an innovative clean water pressurising set. The Hidro Boost® quickly proved its worth in agricultural, domestic, and commercial settings.
2016
In 2016 T-T was recognised in the London Stock Exchange's '1000 Companies to Inspire Britain' report. This recognition celebrates our sustained growth, innovation, and commitment to excellence within the industry.

We were also announced as the sole UK distributor for SAER Elettropompe, a proud partnership that we still hold to this date.
20's
2021
We expanded the Planet® Range in 2021 to include the Pluto® range. These small but powerful package pumping stations were designed to transform small-scale, domestic pumping solutions.
2022

That same year, we added another quality product to our belt with the launch of the Penstock Isolation Valve.
