Company

Whether a hydropower project or pumps for cooling high horsepower diesel & gas engines, the need to source a world class manufacturer who can maintain quality whilst increasing operational reliability and efficiency, are challenges common to engineering managers and project consultants the world over.

To meet these challenges, you need a trusted specialist that can offer the level of industry knowledge and capability required to deliver solutions for the most demanding of technical specifications and environments.

With international credentials earned in over 85 countries, a Royal Warrant and 165 years of design and manufacturing experience behind us, we are small enough to be flexible and responsive, whilst large enough to have the technical and engineering competency needed to be one of the world's leading brands.

As a business, we offer a reputable single source solution for a range of hydropower turbines and pumps, working closely with our clients to ensure the highest levels of customer support, product development and 'whole life' cost value.
