“We are extremely excited to welcome Fill-Rite’s impressive portfolio of mission-critical pumps and its outstanding group of staff to the Gorman-Rupp family,” said Scott King, president and CEO of Gorman-Rupp. “Altogether, with our mixed capabilities, we count on our revenues to succeed in over US$500 million yearly – a big milestone.”
“I first discovered about Gorman-Rupp after I was in high school,” stated Jay Tuthill, chairman of Tuthill Corp. “That was the summer of 1969 and I was being given a crash course on ‘Who’s Who within the Pump Business’. Now, greater than half a century later, I am thrilled to see Tuthill’s Fill-Rite business shifting into the Gorman-Rupp orbit.”
Gorman-Rupp says that Fill-Rite aligns with its disciplined acquisition criteria targeted on pumps and pumping options.
“We are happy to have found a partner that represents an excellent strategic fit for both companies, bringing together two pioneering flow control companies with over a hundred and fifty years of mixed expertise working as market-leaders,” mentioned Jeff Gorman, government chairman of Gorman-Rupp’s board of directors. “This distinctive opportunity fits well into Gorman-Rupp’s general strategic plan to find well-suited opportunities for growth and innovation.”
Fill- Simple as ABC ’s administration team will proceed to lead the business as a brand new division of Gorman-Rupp.
