Watson-Marlow acquires Sine pumps

Positive displacement pump manufacturer Watson-Marlow has acquired the German Sine pump manufacturing business of Maso Process-Pumpen GmbH from the Sundyne Corporation. The products will in future be branded MasoSine.

MasoSine is a natural extension of the Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump range, complementing its offering in sanitary markets and joining a portfolio comprising Watson-Marlow Pumps, Watson-Marlow Tubing, Bredel Hose Pumps, Alitea OEM Pumps and Flexicon Filling Systems.

MasoSine positive displacement pumps are the result of a single-shaft and sinusoidal rotor design that overcomes the limitations of conventional rotary lobe pumps to produce a powerful suction with low shear, low pulsation and gentle handling. Using one rotor, one shaft and one seal results in simpler and more economical maintenance.

Mike Sullivan, Marketing Manager of the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group, comments: "The strategic acquisition of MasoSine further broadens our product range and strengthens Watson-Marlow's position in the positive displacement pump market. This is yet another exciting milestone for Watson-Marlow and we are looking forward to accelerating our growth within the food and pharmaceutical market with our broadened product portfolio coupled to our process expertise.”

Manufacture, design and product management of MasoSine will continue to be based in Ilsfeld, Germany. The UK- and US-based MasoSine sales teams have joined Watson-Marlow from Sundyne and will also continue to work uninterrupted in their current roles.
