DeZURIK Family of Products United Again. (1/30/2009)

Sartell Valves, Inc. (SVI), manufacturer of DeZURIK municipal valves, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the remainder of the DeZURIK valve product line and business from SPX Corporation.  The change of ownership was completed today. 

SVI will continue to operate the combined company from its Sartell, MN headquarters, the site on which the original DeZURIK Company was founded in the late 1920’s.  Through a series of ownership changes, the brand was ultimately split between SVI and SPX along product lines; this acquisition serves to reunite the DeZURIK product family.  SVI intends to operate the combined business under the company and brand name DeZURIK. 

With an intense market focus and continual investment in product line expansion, SVI has established itself and the DeZURIK brand as the leader in the water and waste water treatment markets.  With its acquisition of the DeZURIK industrial product line, which serves the energy, process and commercial markets, SVI will reunite the broad based DeZURIK business scope that evolved as a leader in valve technology, supply and customer service.

According to Larry Korf, President & CEO of SVI, “This acquisition provides the company with a complete product line and a strong U.S. and worldwide market position, and we are excited to once again join these businesses together.  We are looking forward to capitalizing on the strengths of our experienced and talented organization, and to providing a complete valve technology solution to the market”

Under terms of the agreement, SVI has acquired all DeZURIK industrial valve products and production equipment.  Products include all DeZURIK branded knife gate, rubber seated & high performance butterfly, V-ball, rotary control, precision electric control and globe control valves, consistency transmitters, and diaphragm & PowerRac actuators.  SVI has also acquired the DeZURIK manufacturing plant in Cambridge, Ontario, the sales offices in Edmonton, Alberta and St. Cloud, MN, and the service center in Atlanta, GA.  DeZURIK products currently manufactured in the Houston, TX plant, and the equipment used in manufacturing these products, will be relocated and integrated into the SVI Sartell, MN production facility in early 2009.
