AxFlow, a global leader in fluid handling solutions, has acquired renowned Australian pump and service provider, Superior Pump Technologies (SPT).
This strategic acquisition will bolster AxFlow’s presence in the drilling, mining, oil, food and beverage, and water/wastewater sectors in Australia, while also significantly enhancing its service and repair capabilities across the region.
SPT is a certified SPX Flow repair centre and the only facility in Australia accredited for Waukesha Cherry-Burrell (an SPX Flow brand). With a fully equipped workshop for high-quality aftermarket services, SPT will complement AxFlow’s existing service offerings, particularly by adding workshop and field-based repair capacity.
SPT specialises in pump repair using original manufacturers’ specifications, high-pressure cleaning of parts with environmentally responsible waste disposal, and both in-house and on-site pump repairs and services, as well as pump condition monitoring.
In addition to its comprehensive service offerings, SPT supplies several leading international brands to the Australian market, including SPX Flow products such as Waukesha Cherry-Burrell, APV, Bran + Luebbe, Johnson Pump and Technip FMC (Pumps, Flowline, Invalco).
Managing Director of AxFlow in Australia, Michael Briggs, said, “The acquisition supports our strategic focus on expanding service capabilities and aligns with AxFlow’s long-standing relationship with SPX Flow, particularly in Europe, where AxFlow has supplied SPX Flow products for decades.
“We are excited to welcome SPT to the AxFlow Group. This is a significant step in our journey to becoming the leading provider of fluid handling solutions in Australia.”
General Manager of SPT, Victor Rokhlin, added, “Joining the AxFlow Group marks an exciting new chapter in SPT’s growth journey. By combining the strengths of both companies, we’ll be able to foster innovation, improve operational efficiency and offer even greater value to our customers.”
