Watson-Marlow acquires Maso process pumps
28 August 2009
Watson-Marlow, a positive displacement pump manufacturer, has acquired the German Sine pump manufacturing business of Maso Process-Pumpen from the Sundyne Corporation.
The products will in future be branded MasoSine, and the purchase is said to demonstrate the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group’s continuing commitment to leadership and innovation in positive displacement pump technology.
MasoSine is a natural extension of the Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump range, complementing its offering in sanitary markets, and joining a portfolio comprising Watson-Marlow Pumps, Watson-Marlow Tubing, Bredel Hose Pumps, Alitea OEM Pumps, and Flexicon Filling Systems.
MasoSine positive displacement pumps is said by the company to be reliable and economical for sanitary and industrial applications. Its single shaft and sinusoidal rotor overcomes the limitations of conventional rotary lobe pumps to produce a powerful suction with low shear, low pulsation, and gentle handling.
The technical fit between MasoSine and Watson-Marlow pumps is excellent, and the wavelike action of the sinusoidal rotor can be visualised as a stainless steel peristaltic pump.
Mike Sullivan, marketing manager of the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group says: "The strategic acquisition of MasoSine further broadens our product range and strengthens Watson-Marlow's position in the positive displacement pump market. This is yet another exciting milestone for Watson-Marlow and we are looking forward to accelerating our growth within the food and pharmaceutical market with our broadened and product portfolio coupled to our process expertise”.
Manufacture, design, and product management of MasoSine will continue to be based in Ilsfeld, Germany. The UK and US based MasoSine sales teams have joined Watson-Marlow from Sundyne and will also continue to work uninterrupted in their current roles.
