Smith Flow Control and Netherlocks Safety Systems have announced a merging of their two business, effective 4th April 2016. This is to create a global presence in process valve safety and operations, with the new business operating under a single board of directors.
The new combined business will operate from 10 offices in eight countries to ensure: a clearer and coordinated representation of SFC and NL products in all markets; improved local sales, engineering and servicing support in
all regions; accelerated new product development and
diversification and a larger as well as complimentary product portfolio in three distinct product groups (process safety, drive systems, valve monitoring) will be available through more specialist channels.
