Globalization

Flowserve gained new growth by expanding our presence to capture the growing business in emerging regions to support our global and local customers. In 2006, we dedicated a new facility in Suzhou, China that will serve as an operations center for pumps, valves and seals in the Chinese market. We opened a new training facility in Essen, Germany and a joint venture agreement was singed to establish a Middle East service, repair and training facility in Saudi Arabia.
