About the Company
In 1982 Mr. Clark Vaught moved from Canon Falls, Minnesota to Willcox, Arizona and purchased Farmers Pump Company from the widow of the late Virgil Owens.
With the move, Mr. Vaught added drilling and well redevelopment to the pump company's capabilities. The pump company, previously localized, developed commercial, industrial and municipal customers and in 1988 decided to change the name to Farwest Pump Company to more closely identify with our company's clients. With the name change came the expansion of the company to Tucson, Arizona and Deming, New Mexico.
The company continued to grow and in 1990 moved the Deming office to Las Cruces, New Mexico and 1992 opened an office in Phoenix, Arizona.

policies of the company. The public company decided to sell Farwest Pump Company. The opportunity to purchase the company was presented to Ms. Vaught and on 12/1/99 the transaction took place. Ms. Vaught is responsible for all business management and financial planning for Farwest.
Clark Vaught, who purchased Farwest in 1982, is the General Manager. Mr. Vaught has overall responsibility for operations, design, engineering and contracting. He has been involved in design engineering and construction from his youth. Being in a family drilling business has allowed him more insight in the constant evolution of drilling. Along with Mr. Vaught's upbringing, his education as an electrical engineer and work experience as an R & D engineer at Westinghouse on pumping systems and controls have been a significant influence in the success of the growth of Farwest Pump Company. |
