Dissecting the marketplace

摘要

Floweserve, which provides pumps for the global infrastructure and process industries, has dealt with the ups and downs of the world's economic climate since being involved with steam pumping engines as far back as 1790. Keith Loria asks the company's vice president, James K. Quain, about the situation today. James K. Quain, Vice President and General Manager of Flowserve Flow Solutions Division, has nearly 30 years of pump managerial experience with Flowserve and one of its predecessor companies, Ingersoll Dresser Pumps. He has been monitoring the industry's trends and discusses how each market is faring in the current economic climate. Quain started by saying: "In general, Flowserve's success has mirrored market strength with major project wins coming from global regions and industry segments exhibiting the most strength and investment. We've seen significant project wins in China, India, Russia and Middle East, and we continue to see solid success in Latin America and Northern Africa."
