Curflo moves into new facility in Houston
NEWS/DIVIDENDS Established in 2013, Forszi-Tech services and maintains a wide range of pumps for major petrochemical and chemical plants in the region from its industrial site in Szászhalombatta. AxFlow Kft managing director Laszlo Vago said: “AxFlow Hungary has been lacking strong internal service support for a long time. Our distributed pump population deserves high quality technical assistance and that’s what we found in Forszi-Tech and especially in the competence and long term experience of the owner Mr Csaba Ládi. We have had remarkable growth in the sales of new equipment in the past. And now we’re well fitted to look after the installed park with the committed and professional Forzi-Tech service team.” For further information, visit www.axflow.hu and www.forszitech.hu

Standard Alloys invests in Texan engineering facilities
S
tandard Alloys Inc, a KSB company, has opened a new 15 000 sq ft workshop in Deer Park, Texas, USA to serve customers in the Houston area. Following a US$1 million investment, the Deer Park repair centre is equipped with machine tools, lathes, a specialised rotor balancing centre rated to 5000 lbs, 10 and 5 ton cranes and dedicated pump disassembly and assembly areas. Investments have also been made in the company’s reverse engineering with 3D measurement and modelling and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technology. The new facility is strategically located near the Houston ship channel. Standard Alloys already has repair centres in Vidor and Port Arthur, Texas and Port Allen, Louisiana. Standard Alloys offers engineering, manufacture and repair of replacement parts and pumps for the refining, chemical, power, water and other related industries. “Having comprehensive manufacturing facilities located in Southeast Texas that includes a full foundry capable of pouring more than 300 different alloys, means that we can manufacture many core pump components in-house with a very short lead time,” said Standard Alloys managing director Richard Martinez. “We can make the parts needed for a pump repair whether they require fabrication, casting and or machining. This means that our customers know where their parts are manufactured and are welcome to come witness throughout the process. It’s simply a matter of reverse engineering the parts, making a pattern, and pouring a casting,” added Martinez. KSB acquired Standard Alloys in 2010.
