Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) will provide direct sales, support and service of its Bredel range of heavy-duty hose pumps in all regions from 1^st of January 2021.

This announcement is the final part of a phased transition to move away from the distribution of its Bredel range by distribution partner AxFlow Group.

Countries affected by the change are Finland, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Czech Republic (including Slovakia). All of these countries have existing or recently established sales offices staffed by WMFTG’s own experienced applications engineers and product specialists.

In the Czech Republic, WMFTG will also takeover direct sales and support of its Watson-Marlow and Alitea peristaltic pumps from AxFlow. To support this, a new WMFTG sales office has been established in Prague to service customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

From a customer perspective, direct ‘in-country’ support from WMFTG’s expanded network of local offices will enable the provision of a deeper level of service and applications knowledge. For Bredel users, many of whom operate in harsh and challenging process environments, ready access to specialist product and applications expertise and rapid technical support – where needed – will be much welcomed.

Commenting on the announcement, Steve Lavargna, Regional Director, Americas and EMEA, says that this announcement is part of a much wider global strategy to connect with and support customers. “Our business has seen significant expansion over the last few years, which means we have needed to expand our service mechanisms to meet demand at a local level. This has taken time, but all the pieces of the jigsaw are now in place for a new way of working. We are delighted to be in a position where we can get closer to our customers and work with them as partners,” he says.

“AxFlow Group has been a trusted and valued distribution partner to us and we are extremely grateful for their work to support Bredel customers over the years. However, the time has come for a new stage in our journey and we wish their business well,” concludes Mr Lavargna.

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
