Watson-Marlow Pumps Group has opened two new offices in Zürich and Mexico City.
The group can now offer Swiss customers direct shipment from its UK plant in Falmouth, saving 20% on transport costs and seven days of delivery time. Swiss orders ship on next-day-delivery terms.
Newly appointed sales engineer Walter Burger heads the Swiss operation, which is set to become another European success story.
“We’re delighted to have Walter on board looking after our Swiss contacts,” commented Klaus Heinrich, country manager for Switzerland and Germany.
“Walter brings with him a raft of engineering and technical sales experience. We have worked with two distributors for our Swiss customers – Rotoconsulta and Skan – for a number of years. Being able to offer a direct service for industrial and process application distribution is a milestone we’re extremely proud to have reached. We will retain the distribution services of Skan for the laboratory sector.”
Watson-Marlow”s sales division in Mexico, operational from 1st April, will be working to satisfy strong customer demand for its innovative pump products, particularly in the mining sector. The new operation, Watson-Marlow S. de R.L. de C.V., is under the management of Latin America’s sales manager Rolando Sanchez. Guillermo Tellez has been appointed as sales manager for Mexico.
The team will oversee the transition of operations from Watson-Marlow Inc in the US, solidifying the company’s commitment to the Central American region by providing its customers with the best in local knowledge, services and products.
Watson-Marlow S. de R.L. de C.V. is based in the offices of sister company Spirax Sarco Mexicana in Mexico City. Plans for a local assembly plant are currently in place, but Watson-Marlow S. de R.L. de C.V. will initially purchase all Group products from Watson-Marlow Inc and the European factories.
Commenting on the recent expansion, Watson-Marlow Pumps Group Managing Director, Chris Gadsden said: “Our attentiveness to the needs of local markets and product innovation continue to sustain our reputation as the leading manufacturer of the world”s fastest-growing pump type. The vast opportunities to grow market share through geographic expansion paints a bright future for the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group.”
The two new sales offices in Switzerland and Mexico follow the opening of the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group office in Russia last year. The new Russian facility has this month announced a new addition to its team; sales manager and mechanical engineering expert, Vadim Sidorenko will be working to develop the company’s presence in Russia and strengthen its contacts in the country.

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.
