Robyn Brookhart’s earliest memories of Bergen, New York-based pumps manufacturer Liberty Pumps dates back to when she was three.
“When Liberty was at its first location, I would ride to work with my dad on the weekends where I explored every nook in the factory and whatever I could climb,” she says. “The smell of that old shop still stays with me — a mixture of oil, metal and a bit of grime. It wasn’t long until we outgrew that building, and I fondly remember my dad’s anticipation when we moved into a larger facility (Liberty’s second, but not yet final location).”
