Racine Federated Inc. (RFI) announced the acquisition of the Asahi/America vortex flow meter product lines. As a manufacturer and distributor of corrosion resistant thermoplastic fluid flow solutions including valves, actuators and industrial, dual containment and high purity piping systems, Asahi/America, Inc., will no longer service, sell or support the Universal Vortex Flow Meter and FloSonex Ultrasonic Flow Meter product lines. Racine Federated, Inc. will take full responsibility for all operations surrounding both product lines.
“The Asahi/America vortex products will be an excellent complement to RFI’s current product family,” said RFI President and CEO, John E.Erskine. He added, “We are excited about the new market opportunities this creates for Racine Federated’s flow measurement group.”
With the addition of Asahi/America’s vortex shedding product line helps enhance RFI’s broad offering of flow measurement equipment and fluid management solutions. It will be fully integrated in Racine, WI by the third quarter of 2007, including construction of a Class1000 certified clean room.
“Asahi/America and RFI have worked together on this project for several months, and I am pleased to see it come to a positive end result,” stated Aiba. “Racine Federated has agreed to take full ownership of stock and warranty responsibility for both Vortex Flow Meter lines,” stated Dan Anderson, Asahi/America’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We feel this will allow Asahi/America to dedicate more resources to our core product lines including thermoplastic valves, actuators and piping systems.”
RFI’s flow meter group serves the pulp & paper, chemical & petroleum processing, water & waste treatment, general industrial, automotive production, food & beverage, semiconductor capital equipment, HVAC, energy and fluid power markets.
