Operations extended IN FLUID TECHNOLOGY

B MG – Bearing Man Group – part of Invicta Holdings Lim- ited, has extended its operations in the fluid technology sector, with the recent acquisition of Klep Valves. “This strategic acquisition follows an 18 month period where Klep Valves supported BMG in our expansion into the dynam- ic valves sector,” says Gavin Pelser, managing director, BMG. “Klep Valves, which forms part of BMG’s Fluid Technology divi- sion, will retain its manufacturing facility in Krugersdorp under the BMG banner. “This development augers well for both companies. BMG will broaden its product range and service offering and, with the combination of its positioning as a respected manufacturer and BMG’s extensive distribution reach, Klep Valves is set to significantly extend its market share.” Klep Valves specialises in the manufacture of diaphragm, pinch and wedge gate valves, which are designed for enhanced op- erating efficiency and extended service life in diverse sectors. The company’s offering includes soft natural rubber lined di- aphragm valves, which are widely used in mineral processing and mining and slurry applications. Other lining materials in- clude butyl, nitrile, jumbo (NAX), halar and hard rubber. BMG’s national branch network of over 130 branches sup- ports this range with a technical advisory and support service, to ensure optimum efficiency and extended service life of ev- ery valve. The company also offers a total process and lubri- cation management service, to meet exact market demand. b
