disinfection treatment and analytics), Residential & Commercial Water and Flow Control businesses.

in nuclear and fossil fuel power plants. The Flowserve Coimbatore campus already has two manufacturing facilities that produce industrial and engineered pumps. “This key strategic initiative will give Flowserve a local source for
high-energy pumps and allow us to participate in the rapid growth in both the nuclear and fossil fuel power generation markets in India,” said Flowserve Flow Solutions Group president Tom Ferguson. www.flowserve.com
Garlock buys pump diaphragm line Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC (GST) has acquired the ONE-UP pump diaphragm business from WL Gore & Associates Inc. Manufacturing of the ONE-UP pump diaphragm product line will be relocated from Gore’s facility in Elkton, Maryland, to

business remains healthy and viable as GST seeks a final and definitive resolution of asbestos claims against it,” said Steve Macadam, president and CEO of EnPro Industries Inc, the parent company of Garlock Sealing Technologies. www.garlock.com

improve its financial performance. In keeping with our corporate strategy to diversify into new strategic market segments of large addressable size, the consolidation will also allow us to accelerate the launch of next-generation products.” www.energyrecovery.com
