Canned motor venture

KSB and the Japanese company Nikkiso are planning to establish a joint-venture company near Frankfurt, Germany this summer. The partners will each hold a 50% interest in the new company, which will focus on providing canned motor pumps for Europe and the Middle East.

The joint venture company aims to design and build a new pump series by 2010. KSB's contribution to the new product will be its pump hydraulics, while Nikkiso will provide its broad range of special motors.
