Xylem acquires German dewatering specialist Pollmann Pumpen
Xylem Inc has bought Pollmann Pumpen Ltd, a privately owned
German dewatering technology and services company, for approximately US$3 million.
Headquartered in Bremen, Pollmann Pumpen operates from three locations in the north and east of Germany. The company has a rental fleet of approximately 300 diesel and electric powered dewatering pumps, serving customers across Germany. Pollmann Pumpen has extensive dewatering expertise and technologies, including specialized capabilities such as well-pointing. The company was founded in 1961 and has 30 employees.
Xylem says that the acquisition of Pollen Pumpen is part of the strategic expansion of its dewatering business which is designed to capitalize on the growing demand for pump rental within the construction, municipal, mining and industrial sectors across Europe.
“Bringing Pollmann Pumpen into the Xylem family will enable us to further strengthen our rental and services business in an important market. Combining the dewatering expertise of Xylem, our market-leading Flygt and Godwin products and Pollmann Pumpen’s strategic geographic position will complement our existing capacity in Germany and enable us to better serve our growing customer base across Europe,” said Andrew Jones, vice president and director of Xylem’s dewatering business unit.

Nikkiso in talks to buy Geveke
Japan’s Nikkiso Co Ltd is in negotiations with the shareholders
of Geveke BV to acquire 100% of the Dutch pump and compressor company.
Founded in 1874, Geveke focuses on selling industrial pumps and compressors, manufacturing and selling packaged products incorporating the pumps and compressors, and providing technical services. Geveke
mainly serves the oil & gas industry, including major oil companies.
Nikkiso, together with its German subsidiary Lewa, is developing its industrial pump business globally, with an emphasis on the growing oil & gas market. Adding Geveke to the group will enable Nikkiso to supply advanced solutions by combining Nikkiso’s pump technology with Geveke’s packaging technology. The Geveke acquisition would also diversify Nikkiso’s product and service range to include packaged compressor products.

Flowserve relocates part of pump business to Pennsylvania
Flowserve is moving a portion of its Engineered Pumps Division
from New Jersey to a facility in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania.
Flowserve will relocate teams from its product, application and service engineering, as well as part of its finance organization. The move will bring Flowserve closer to natural and shale gas customers operating in Pennsylvania.
“We are excited about relocating to Pennsylvania. The new facility will be the home of numerous pump, technical and commercial resources, as well as research and development engineers,” said Tom Pajonas, Flowserve’s chief operating officer.
Flowserve is entering into a 10-year lease and investing more than US$1.5 million in renovations, infrastructure improvements and new equipment. The relocation is set to create 124 jobs over the next three years.
Flowserve received a US$310 000 Pennsylvania First Program grant funding offer from the Department of Community and Economic Development to assist with the company’s relocation efforts.
The relocation project was coordinated by the Pennsylvania Governor’s Action Team (GAT), a group of economic development professionals who work directly with businesses that are considering locating or expanding in Pennsylvania.
