KSB

KSB SE & Co. KGaA, founded in 1871 in Frankenthal, Germany, is one of the world's oldest and most complete pump and valve manufacturers — a rarity in an industry where most firms specialize in one or the other. The pump portfolio covers process centrifugal pumps to API 610, multistage barrel pumps for boiler feed duty, magnetic-drive and canned-motor sealless pumps for hazardous media, submersible and wastewater pumps, building-services circulators and fire pumps. Equally significant is the valve side: KSB manufactures butterfly valves, gate, globe and check valves, ball valves and control valves, meaning a water treatment plant or power station can be equipped with matched pumps and valves from a single supplier with common documentation and spares logic. KSB holds a strong position in power generation (including nuclear-qualified equipment), water and wastewater, mining, chemicals and general industry, with manufacturing in Germany, France, India, China, Brazil and elsewhere and sales companies in over one hundred countries. Its SuPremE magnet-driven motor line exemplifies the company's efficiency focus. For combined pump-and-valve procurement, KSB's breadth is practically unmatched in Europe.
