CIRCOR International acquires Flowserve’s herringbone gear pump line to expand pump portfolio

CIRCOR International, Inc., a KKR portfolio company and global manufacturer of flow control products for industrial and aerospace applications, has acquired Flowserve Corporation’s herringbone gear pump product line. The transaction includes the GAX, GR, and Gearex Series pumps, which will be integrated into CIRCOR’s IMO product portfolio following a transition period.

According to CIRCOR, the acquisition strengthens its Pumps Americas business by addressing targeted product portfolio gaps and expanding its capabilities in markets such as chemical processing, power generation, and general industry. The herringbone gear pump line, known for its stainless-steel construction and intermittent dry-running capability, is engineered for high-viscosity fluids, elevated temperatures, and critical service applications.

CIRCOR President and CEO Tony Najjar said the acquisition aligns with the company’s strategic priorities by enhancing its offering for high-performance and specialty pumping applications. Production of the acquired product lines will transition to CIRCOR’s Columbia, Kentucky, facility in the coming months. During the transition, Flowserve will continue manufacturing and fulfilling customer orders under a transition services agreement to ensure uninterrupted supply and support.
