Pump Industry Analyst
Flowserve Corp, USA Profile With 14 000 employees and operations in 56 countries Flowserve Corp, the world’s third largest pump company, operates through three business segments: Flowserve Pump Division (FPD) for engineered pumps, industrial pumps and related services; Flow Solutions Division (FSD) for precision mechanical seals and related services; and Flow Control Division (FCD) for industrial valves, nuclear valves, valve actuators and controls and related services. On 2 May 2002 Flowserve acquired Invensys’s Flow Control division (IFC), becoming the world’s second largest supplier of valve products and services.
COMMENT Faced with soft demand and some challenging markets, Flowserve sensibly concentrated on improving the variables that it could control during 2002. As a result, the company strengthened its product portfolio, streamlined its operations, improved cash flow and paid down debt, helping to move Flowserve a little closer to its vision of being the preferred supplier in the flow control industry. ■

COMPANY PROFILE
Analysis Even though Flowserve increased 2002 sales by 17.4% to US$2251.3 million, and turned a 2001 net loss of US$1.5 million into a US$53 million net profit in 2002, both results were below the company’s expectations. Growth in the oil and gas and water sectors was not enough to offset the tough market conditions in some of Flowserve’s other major end-use markets such as refining, chemical processing, power generation and general industry. Backlog in 2002 increased 10.7%, largely due to the IFC acquisition.
