$10m manufacturing facility for India

Flowserve Corporation has opened a pump manufacturing facility in Coimbatore, India.

The facility will support the company's existing Indian operations and provide pump products for the oil and gas, power and chemical industries.

The 200-person management and engineering staff at the operation will provide total pumping solution services and support to the region.

"Expanding our footprint in the Asia-Pacific region continues to be a key part of Flowserve's growth strategy," said Lewis Kling, president and CEO of Flowserve.

"With the industries we serve growing significantly in the region, this new facility is designed to serve our customers more effectively and offer a technically advanced centre for manufacturing," he said.

Flowserve's products are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, caustic chemicals, intense pressures or other demanding conditions in some of the most remote and developing geographies.
