Harry Kemerer, Founder
Our History: Family-Owned Since 1956
Precision Pump & Valve Service began on May 18, 1956, when Arthur Clyde "Harry" Kemerer, a machine shop supervisor, started repairing discarded pumps in the basement of his family's home in Dunbar, West Virginia, with his sons Barry and Sam working alongside him. In 1971 Harry built our shop at 517 Old Goff Mountain Road in Cross Lanes, where we're still headquartered today.
Over seven decades and four generations, the company has stayed under Kemerer family leadership. Barry added new equipment sales, including the Flygt line in 1977, and municipal lift station work. Kevin Kemerer joined in 2001 and became President in 2017, and the fourth generation now works in the business too.
In 2006 we opened Precision Services, Inc. in Louisville as a Consolidated Green Tag Center. Since then we've added oil & gas wellhead service, field machining and heat treating, and motor rewind, and in 2025 we welcomed Derby City Pump & Valve to the family.
Our values are the Precision R.U.L.E.S.: Respect, Unheard of, Life, Excel, Sacrifice. Above all, we measure success by every employee getting home safely at the end of every job.
