New president for ABS Group
take care of this. They only start operating when the rivers feeding the reservoir hold so much water that there is no risk of the ecological balance being disturbed.
Peter Aru has been appointed the new president and CEO of ABS Group. He will lead the company from November 1st until further notice, alongside with his duties as president and CEO for the Cardo group, which is the mother company of ABS.
Four tubular casing pumps, each with a capacity of 3000 m3 of water per hour, extract the water from the reservoir and transfer it to a storage tank situated at an altitude of 38 m. From there, four doubleentry volute casing pumps type RDLO, each with a capacity of 2,940 m3 per hour, pump the water across the Cantabrian Mountains. After overcoming the geodetic altitude, the water, through force of gravity, continues its journey to Santander through a network of pipes.
This means that the former president and CEO, Fredrik Groth, will leave his duties to fill the position of vice president business development at Cardo. “We will now intensify the process of creating long-term stability and conditions for growth for ABS,” says Aru. “Our focus and overall strategic direction will remain the same - we will continue to develop and provide solutions within wastewater technology, which fit our customers’ needs and purposes.”
Fybroc to supply pumps to Atlantis project Met-Pro Corp’s Fybroc division has received an order to supply 101 corrosion-resistant glass fibre centrifugal pumps for Atlantis, The Palm, a destination resort currently under development on the island of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). The value of this order is more than US$1.7 million, which now represents the single largest order ever received for Fybroc pumps, Met-Pro says.
The combination of horizontal and vertical pumps will be shipped over a period of months, with all of the pumps scheduled to ship before the end of the company’s current fiscal year. The resort will comprise an extensive water-theme park, which, at approximately 60 acres, will be home to the largest man-made open-air marine habitat in the Middle East.
SPX Corp makes offer for Custos SPX Corp today has commenced a tender offer to acquire all the shares of Aktiebolaget Custos (publ) for US$155.3 million. Custos, the parent company of Johnson Pump, is a publicly traded Swedish company with annual revenues exceeding US$105 million.

SPX intends for Custos to operate within the SPX Flow Technology segment. “Custos’ products represent an attractive complement to the products and brands in our Flow Technology segment”, said Don Canterna, segment president. “The combined business will benefit from economies of scale through a combined European infrastructure, a well established sales network across the combined product portfolio, increased operating efficiencies and combined R&D and new product programmes to accelerate growth. We believe this acquisition will allow us to further expand our presence in Europe and continue to extend our customer base.”
