Bridgeport, N.J.-based Godwin Pumps, worldwide manufacturer and supplier of the Dri-Prime automatic self-priming pump, named Christina White office manager of its Portland, Ore.-based company-owned branch, and promoted Don Saffran to service manager of its Baltimore-based company-owned branch.

White joins Godwin Pumps with more than 19 years experience in the Title and Escrow industry. She has extensive knowledge concerning general office management, title clearing, and preparing statements, instructions and legal documents.

Saffran joined Godwin Pumps in February 2007 as a senior road mechanic. With his 27 years’ combined experience as a mechanic in the U.S. Marines and as co-owner of an engine repair shop, he has worked extensively with Detroit diesel engines and Honda and Kohler engines and generators. Saffran has had a tremendous impact on operations at the Baltimore branch in his brief time as acting service manager.

“Don’s promotion is a reflection of the possibilities presented to those within the organization who continuously share their added value,” said Godwin president John Paz. As service manager, Saffran will oversee the activities of the dispatcher and all shop and field mechanics, manage branch operations, and serve as a quality control check for all repaired equipment.

Godwin Pumps maintains a fleet of more than 6,000 portable rental pumps and 3,200 pieces of related equipment for use in dewatering in construction, mining and quarrying; in drinking water supply; and in wastewater bypasses in municipal, industrial and environmental markets.
