The KSB Group was commissioned by the national Algerian supplier of drinking water, “L’Algérienne des Eaux”, to equip four pumping stations with a total of 26 pumps and the corresponding hydraulic equipment.

In May 2009 KSB Aktiengesellschaft, Frankenthal, expanded its product range by two new, fully automatic package pressure boosting units for fire-fighting systems. Both the new Hya-Solo D FL single-pump unit and the Hya-Duo D FL dual-pump unit meet the criteria of the new DIN 14462 for fire-fighting water systems, valid since April 2009.

The report which Chairman of the Board of Management Dr Wolfgang Schmitt presented to shareholders at the KSB Annual General Meeting on 17 June offered a review of the successful year of 2008, but also a glimpse of current problems on the market.

In April 2009, KSB Aktiengesellschaft, Germany, booked an order for four large water pumps to be supplied to a new pumping station in West Australia.

KSB AG, the pump and valve manufacturer based in Frankenthal, Germany, will acquire Kagema Industrieausrüstungen GmbH at the beginning of June. Kagema, based in Pattensen near Hanover, is a leading supplier of diesel pump units for fire protection systems on the German market. They currently employ 70 people.

As every year, KSB Aktiengesellschaft is offering a wide variety of technical seminars. Under the title  'Energy Efficiency in Building Services Applications’ the pump manufacturer, based in Frankenthal, Germany, provides in-depth technical knowledge on the energy-efficient use of pumps and valves to consultants and contractors from the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning as well as plumbing sectors.
