Wpil In Deal With Italian Co

Pump manufacturer WPIL Ltd, formerly Worthington Pump India Ltd, has entered into a technical agreement with Riva Hydro of Italy for manufacturing concrete volute casing pumps in the country.

WPIL has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EMC of Germany for submersible pumps, said A K Palit, managing director, WPIL.

With these agreements, WPIL is rolling out its plans to incorporate high technology in pump manufacturing. WPIL currently manufactures pumpsets with a capacity of 33,000 cubic metre per hour. The new technology from Italy will help the company manufacture pumps with a capacity as high as 70,000 cubic metre per hour. Each pump is expected to cost between Rs 5-6 crore.

 

WPIL had earlier, following the withdrawal of restriction from Indersoll-Dresser, extended its global marketing strategy and registered a healthy export order.
