Textron acquired this subsidiary of KSB group (a German industrial pump manufacturer)
in 1999. Serving markets in Europe, Northern Africa and Asia, the addition
complements the Union Pump and David Brown line of pump systems for oil and
gas applications.
The manufacturing facility, today located in Annecy, France, has origins
that date back to 1919. Prior to the relationship with KSB, which began
in 1986, the facility manufactured pumps under license of Byron Jackson
(1950’s
and 1960’s). The product line includes a complete line of centrifugal
pumps in compliance with API-610 and safety-related pumps for the nuclear
power market. Annecy has an excellent product development organization
with specific skills in API products, noiseless pumps, inducers, and ceramic
bearings.
