Going forward, the New Zealand company will become Brown Brothers Engineers Flow Technology Ltd.
“AxFlow and SPX Flow Technology have been strategic partners for decades in the European market. Together we have developed a very strong position for brands such as Waukesha, APV, Bran+Luebbe, Lightnin and Plenty in food and beverage, chemical and petrochemical industries. This acquisition is in line with AxFlow’s strategy to grow outside Europe, with great potential to expand the SPX Flow products also into industrial segments in New Zealand,” said Ole Weiner, CEO AxFlow Holding AB.
Dominic Hill, the VP Business Development from SPX Flow said: ”APV New Zealand has a strong foundation in place with more than 60 years of servicing customers in food and beverage markets.
