The Past, Present & Future of Nichols Portland

In the late 1920s, W.H. Nichols Company began a groundbreaking journey as the inaugural manufacturer of gerotor pumps worldwide. Collaborating closely with the gerotor’s inventor, Myron Hill, W.H. Nichols engineered the equipment capable of crafting the complex gear shape.
