SEATTLE, Wash. – Pike Street Capital (“Pike Street”) portfolio company Bennett West (“Bennett”) announced a strategic investment in Madera Pumps (“Madera”), a Madera, California-based provider of pump and well services. The partnership brings together two Central Valley institutions, creating a single, trusted source that offers growers a broader range of solutions to maximize water efficiency.
Madera provides comprehensive pump services, including sales, service, and testing, in addition to well rehabilitation and repair.

Together, the business can provide a more coordinated, end-to-end approach to water management, helping growers improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the Madera team to Bennett,” said Tyler Bennett, CEO of Bennett. “They’re a natural fit for us - we share deep roots in the Central Valley and the same commitment to helping growers succeed in an increasingly challenging environment. By joining forces, we’re able to better meet customer needs and deliver more impactful, turnkey solutions.”
The partnership reflects Pike Street’s strategy of driving growth through accretive acquisitions that expand customer solutions and strengthen market position. Pike Street will also continue to invest in talent and technology to accelerate organic growth.
