Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group – part of Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc, a FTSE 100 company – today announces it has changed its name to Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS). As the company evolves to meet the needs of the sectors in which it operates, following a successful period of global growth, the name change aligns with a strategic commitment to providing end-to-end fluid management solutions for customers.

Andrew Mines

Andrew Mines, Managing Director of WMFTS, comments: “This is a very exciting time for Watson-Marlow as we continue to witness a sustained period of growth. There is increasing demand for our quality products, solutions and engineering expertise across the life sciences, food and beverage, and industrial markets. Our priority has always been to deliver best-in-class solutions for our customers, and our new name and strategic vision emphasises this commitment. It will enable us to unlock the full potential of our brands, products and services as we position ourselves for further growth and continue to innovate for sustainable success.”

The strategic vision which underpins the name change is driving the closer alignment of the Watson-Marlow brands and products to enhance customer solutions across a growing number of applications. In addition, Watson-Marlow continues to develop its sectorised, consultative sales approach and digitise its business processes, implementing a full website restructure and upgrade.

Manufacturing capacity has also expanded as the business optimises to support customers, with recent capital expansions including a 11,000m2 custom-built facility in Portsmouth, UK, for its BioPure brand, and a new 14,000m2 facility in Devens, Massachusetts, USA incorporating eight new cleanrooms.

The company is focused on innovating for sustainable success by combining its heritage as a world-leader in fluid path management technologies with continuous investment. Watson-Marlow is aligned with the One Planet sustainability strategy launched by parent group Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc. This roadmap to building a more sustainable future guides the company’s operations as it works with others, including suppliers, customers, and local communities, to leave a better world for tomorrow.

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.

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.
