US positive displacement pump firm Unibloc Pump has purchased Flotronic Pumps, a UK-based producer of specialised, air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps and accessories.
Founded in 1990, Flotronic Pumps invented the ‘One Nut’ AODD pump. The pioneering single bolt design reduces process downtime by simplifying pump assembly/disassembly, providing savings in upkeep costs.
Unibloc Pump chief executive officer Chris Stevens will join the Flotronic Pumps management group as CEO.
“This acquisition is a perfect hand-in-glove fit for Unibloc Pump,” mentioned Stevens. “Unibloc Pump and Flotronic Pumps are able to drive accelerated growth by providing clients merchandise and options fueled by our passions for innovation, safety and ease in upkeep to avoid downtime and increase efficiencies.”
“Important to this acquisition is that both firms share complementary market footprints,” mentioned Flotronics proprietor Stuart Whitehouse. “ Cash will enable Unibloc Pump to develop its UK and European enterprise, while also giving Flotronic Pumps an unmatched North American foothold. That ought to repay in higher market protection and increased general value delivered to the shopper.”
