Flowserve France will be combined with the FCX Group’s existing French distribution businesses, Copmat Voglin and SARMEF and the enlarged group will be re-named FCX France, becoming the leading French specialist distributor of valves, instrumentation and related flow control products with premises in Paris, Lyon and Nantes. Further geographical expansion in France is also under consideration.
