About Us

A Full Service Vacuum Pump & Blower Repair Facility

At Great Lakes Vacuum we provide Remanufacturing services, Repair services, and Parts for industrial vacuum pumps and blowers to customers around the world. Our 10,000 sq. ft. building, located just north of Grand Rapids, MI, is fully equipped to handle all aspects of the rebuild process from teardown, to paint removal, to rebuilding, to a professional paint job. "In 2025, we purchased a nearly identical building that is adjacent to our current building.  Having both buildings will help us accommodate our continued growth."

Fully Stocked Warehouse

By using modern accounting and inventory processes we are able to efficiently stock our shelves with the parts and lubricants you need, when you need them. Great Lakes Vacuum is equipped to meet nearly all vacuum pump or blower needs the day you order, and have you covered for all your lubricant and diffusion pump fluid needs. We make sure our most popular items are always in stock and available for same day shipping.

Special Requirements

If your requirements extend beyond the parts or lubricants we have on our shelves, we have relationships with most of the industrial vacuum equipment OEMs to meet any rebuild or parts need you may have. Give us a call or send us the details of the piece of equipment you are repairing or need repaired and we will do the research in order to provide you a quote. The same goes for lubricants; we can provide OEM or aftermarket lubricants for any vacuum pump or blower.

Experienced Staff

Our knowledgeable staff is ready to take your call or answer your email should you have any questions or need to place an order. Drew Johnson, the owner of Great Lakes Vacuum, has 20+ years experience using and repairing vacuum pumps and blowers.
