Working for the solutions provider

Andy Wilson, business development manager at Hidrostal Pumps, talks to World Pumps about the company's core wastewater handling business as well as growth in other areas. He reveals why Hidrostal - best known for its screw hydraulics technology - can help a burgeoning variety of projects. Hidrostal, the UK arm of Swiss-headquartered Hidrostal AG, provides pumps and pumping systems to many industry segments, especially the water and wastewater sector, Andy Wilson explains. "It's a family-owned business that was founded by a Swiss engineer Martin Stahle, who originally worked with an engineering company in Peru. He was given the task of finding a way to offload fishing boats in the Pacific fleets without damaging the catch, and he developed the screw centrifugal pump which remains the same basic design today. Unlike many companies that have redesigned their hydraulics several times, the Hidrostal design, though much improved, is fundamentally the same as the original was back in the 1950s."
