Framo’s New CEO Settles Into Role

Expanding a business and installing new equipment requires precision planning and timely deliveries if the start-up date is to be achieved. For one major business in the U.S. Virgin Islands, two existing pumps were to be installed in a different process, but before they could be started, control panels were needed and quickly.

The multinational Wilo Group has opened a new plant in India. In Kesurdi in the west of the country, a sustainable and ultra-modern high-tech production complex has been built on a 94,000 square metre site. Here, the technology group manufactures premium pump systems for water management in India, the Middle East, Africa and South-east Asia.

Pumping systems are responsible for over 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand, and in some industrial plant operations, they can account for up to 90% of energy usage. Improving the energy efficiency of pumping and mixing systems is crucial in reducing production costs and supporting a more sustainable future.

Given the global rise in energy costs, there has never been a better time to review and assess the efficiency of pumping systems – whatever their size, complexity or indeed sphere of operation.

Wilo, manufacturer of pumps and pump systems and Schneider Electric, active in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced that the companies have partnered to advance Wilo’s climate strategy in anticipation of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

As part of an asset deal, WILO USA LLC, a subsidiary of WILO SE, has acquired the operating business of QuantumFlo, Inc, a specialist in pressure boosting systems and intelligent pump systems. The company, based in Sanford, Florida/USA, offers high-quality products and innovative, user-friendly software solutions for the design and control of pressure boosting systems.
