The additional capacity will be used to meet growing demand for Godwin pumps, including the new Godwin Dri-Prime NC Series introduced in November 2011.
The facility, located at Bridgeport, is a manufacturing plant for Godwin pumps, a global brand of automatic self-priming portable pumps used in the growing markets for drainage pump rental, services and sales for the global industrial, construction, mining, municipal, oil and gas segments.
The Godwin Dri-Prime NC Series is the portable, diesel-driven dewatering pump to include the Flygt N-technology which delivers clog-free hydraulics and enables sustained high-efficiency pumping.
The building extension is expected to be completed during this year.
Xylem’s Dewatering Solutions business head Michel Bakhos said growing the company’s product offering and increasing manufacturing capabilities is essential in ensuring unequaled customer support and service.
Godwin, a Xylem brand, is engaged in the design and manufacture of automatic self-priming pumps, hydraulic submersibles and related intelligent control systems.
