Founded in 1986, Carlsen & Associates has dedicated over three decades to revolutionizing the winemaking industry with top-tier equipment and unparalleled support. Our founder, Jim Carlsen, recognized that passion and zeal are essential to success in any endeavor, especially winemaking. With this in mind, he built a company rooted in the belief that work should be effective and enjoyable.

From the outset, our goal has been to provide the ultimate functional, quality winemaking equipment. We use the finest components and materials, coupled with outstanding craftsmanship, to ensure our products meet the highest standards. Our equipment includes Carlsen Positive Displacement Pumps, Centrifugal Pumps, and Yamada Air Pumps, all designed to handle wine and must gently and efficiently.

Our collaboration with Puleo, a premier Italian manufacturer, has allowed us to offer the finest Destemmer-Crushers and Wine Presses on the market. This partnership, combined with our in-house fabricating skills, ensures that each piece of equipment is finely tuned to meet the specific needs of winemakers.

At Carlsen & Associates, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive service program. Whether you need help in the field, in the shop, or over the phone, our experienced team is always ready to provide instruction, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance support.
