CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc.
(NYSE: FLOW), a leading provider of process solutions for the
nutrition, health and industrial markets, is celebrating the
75th anniversary of its Assen manufacturing facility in
the Netherlands.
Assen's team of 85 employees make critical components for
processing plants worldwide, producing both standard and customized
pumps. The team has also spearheaded initiatives to improve safety,
increase productivity, shorten lead times and drive customer
satisfaction.
"We're especially proud of this team, not just for the past 75
years, but for the way Assen continues to improve every day," said
Ben de Haas, Assen's director of
operations.
Assen primarily produces different types of centrifugal pumps,
including multistage, self-priming, mag drive and submersible
pumps. These pumps serve many industrial engineering sectors, as
well as the global horticulture, shipbuilding, water treatment and
automotive markets.
The Assen team has also been increasingly involved in providing
pumps to one of the fastest growing renewable power segments,
offshore wind. The wind farms are located in bodies of water, where
wind speeds are higher. The pumps help convert the energy for use
onshore through a transmission system called high-voltage direct
current (HVDC).
The Assen facility is part of SPX FLOW's leading Pump
Solutions portfolio, which includes Johnson Pump and Bran+Luebbe brands.
From hundreds to thousands
Originally part of the Stork Standard Pump company, the Assen
factory was first located in an old grain warehouse. In its first
year, it produced only several hundred pumps. Within about a
decade, though, that number soared to tens of thousands.
Assen expanded in the 1970s, opening several locations. That
included one in Rotterdam that
focused on shipbuilding, and one to the south for chemicals.
In 1997, Johnson Pump acquired
the Assen team, and in 2006, Assen joined SPX FLOW when
Johnson Pump was acquired.
"From design to delivery, our goal is to continuously improve to
ensure we put customers first," de Haas said. "This milestone is a
tribute to top-notch quality for our business partners and our
customers."
