When you need a water pump, doesn’t it make sense to turn to the world’s largest maker of water pumps? Aisin Automotive Castings isn’t a household name if you don’t spend a lot of time taking engines apart, but Toyota, Honda, Nissan and General Motors all put Aisin water pumps in their new cars, because they know when it comes to coolant, you don’t mess around. Year after year, Aisin has even been named both General Motors and Toyota “supplier of the year.”

Aisin sure sounds like a Japanese company, and indeed, they started making automotive parts in 1945, but the great thing about Aisin water pumps is that today, they’re made in America. Aisin set up shop in the USA in 1970. Chrysler, which uses Aisin water pumps, has been bailed out and sold twice since then, while Aisin has been building plants in the USA, hiring American workers to build top-quality OEM and replacement water pumps. At their American home base in Kentucky, Aisin is an active and generous member of the community. Their commitment goes beyond charity, and Aisin water pumps actively seeks to improve the environment, as well, pioneering environmentally friendly, green manufacturing techniques. Their stated goal is to become a zero-emissions company. They even have programs in place to ensure fair treatment of their own suppliers, something you certainly can’t say for all automakers.

The environment isn’t the only thing Aisin seeks to improve. As the top supplier of water pumps to Japanese car manufactures, they have the resources to lead in new technology as well. Aisin water pumps are designed to provide the best cooling with the least drain on your engine, high-corrosion resistance, small size and light weight, all while providing the best engine cooling. They’re also some of the strongest, with high-strength diecast aluminum bodies and carbon ceramic mechanical seals that make sure coolant leaks don’t happen. You can’t control what automotive water pump goes in your new car, but isn’t it nice to know that when it’s an Aisin water pump, it’s the best you can get? From Toyota Tundra pickup to Freightliner big rig, from the Honda Accord to Komatsu forklift, car water pumps from Aisin are used wherever manufacturers simply want the best water pump they can get.
