AxFlow AB Joins Forces with Chemo-Invest Specialpumpar

Announcing the acquisition, AxFlow AB managing director Charlotte Burmester commented: “I strongly believe that merging the resources and experience of Chemo-Invest into our operation will bring considerable benefits for both companies’ existing clients and new business prospects as a result of our combined strengths.
