It was the pump monitoring unit PumpMeter and the variable speed system PumpDrive that achieved recognition.

Attending the ceremony were about 250 representatives from major manufacturers, operators and key accounts from various industries. Started in 1997, the “British Pump Industry Awards” are firmly established as a special event on the calendar in Great Britain. Through the award, the BPMA intends to promote and honour outstanding achievements in pump technology.

In addition to picking up the award for “Environmental Contribution of the Year”, PumpMeter was also a finalist in the category for “Technical Innovation of the Year”.
