Acquisition signals Strong Growth Period for Pump Specialist

Flow control solutions provider Unibloc Pump has added to its family of hygienic flow control brands through the acquisition of Standard Pump, a 30-year manufacturer of sanitary and industrial process pumps, for industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and cosmetics. Both companies are located in the greater Atlanta metro area of Georgia USA.

Co-founded in 1992 by Don Murphy, Standard Pumps is currently led by his sons Chris Murphy, Director of Operations, and James Murphy, Director of Sales. Its 21,000-square-foot Duluth facility provides engineering, fabrication, testing, shipping and receiving all under one roof. Both Chris Murphy and James Murphy will assume leadership roles within Unibloc, where they will utilise their expertise to support commercial and operational excellence in partnership with Unibloc leadership. Standard Pump serves food and beverage, chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and other diversified process manufacturing industries in more than 50 countries. 

Unibloc CEO Chris Stevens said:" We are thrilled to welcome Standard Pump to the Unibloc Pump family of companies. Its precision-engineered drum pumps and hygienic pump packages position Unibloc for accelerated growth. Additionally, its in-house fabrication strength, and its robust distribution network will provide new opportunities to grow sales across all flow control brands.

As a long-time supplier to the US company, Chris Murphy added: “We couldn't be happier merging with Unibloc Pump. We've known and respected the company for years and have a great relationship with their team. Plus, our skilled staff brings many strengths that will complement its product lines and customer services.” 

"Our deep distribution network and sales processes make partnering with Unibloc Pump an excellent match," added James Murphy. "When combined with the talent, precision and pride of our seasoned tradesmen and our reputation for impeccable customer service, we're confident of the value we're providing to our customers through our partnership.” 

The acquisition follows that of UK-based Flotronic Pumps announced during September 2021.
