Colfax delivers SMART technology systems for new US Navy destroyers

12 April 2010

Colfax Corp is supplying US$8 million in SMART technology valve systems and US$17 million in magazine fire-suppression systems and SMART pump controllers for the US Navy's first two DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers being built at the Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine, USA.

Colfax has already started shipping components manufactured by its Portland Valve business in South Portland, Maine, and its Fairmount Automation business in Newtown Square, Penn. Shipments will continue throughout 2010.
 
“SMART fluid-handling technologies are an increasingly important part of our business in a variety of applications, and we’re proud our systems were selected to help protect Zumwalt-class destroyers, the Navy’s newest class of surface combatants,” said Clay Kiefaber, president and CEO of Colfax.
