KSB Aktiengesellschaft intends to take over the Dutch pump manufacturing company DP Industries B.V. based in Alphen a/d Rijn. An agreement to this effect is planned to be signed in mid-May.

The company has 280 employees and is planned to be turned into a KSB Group sheet metal competence centre. The Frankenthal-based Group aims to strengthen its positioning in the sheet steel and stainless sheet steel pump markets and will sell DP Industries products worldwide.
