Leonard E. Prokopchak

Plant Manager
Nagle Pumps

Len brings decades of operations, R&D and engineering experience to his new role at Nagle. Prior to joining our heavy-duty pump manufacturer in 2022, he built his career in the oilfield, vehicle manufacturing and automotive assembly industries. Len holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Young Harris College (Young Harris, GA).

At Nagle, he spearheaded the move of its manufacturing operations from the original West Chicago, Il location to Dry Ridge, Ky. The move to better-equipped facilities also puts Nagle in close proximity to sister Ruthman company Gusher Pumps to more efficiently share manufacturing resources. With this move, Nagle is poised to continue its growth, particularly in the area of manufacturing pumps for molten salt applications, driven by the rise in alternative energy development.

The most rewarding part of the job for Len is developing solutions that fulfill challenging requirements.
