Godwin
Pumps is opening three new locations in the Midwest – Indianapolis;
Evansville, Ind.;
and Cincinnati.
Godwin’s
increased presence in the Midwest aligns with
its strategy to enhance its focus on customer service by positioning itself
nearer to customer locations. Says Godwin president, Michel Bakhos, “The
opening of these three new branches in the heart of the U.S. Midwest
exemplifies our commitment to our customers to bring an unequalled service
support, to make available timely supply of rental pumps and related equipment,
and to enhance pre- and post-sale support.”
Similar to
all other Godwin branches across the United States, Godwin’s new branches
will be equipped with the Godwin product range of surface-mounted diesel
Dri-Prime pumps to serve all markets, as well as Flygt’s electric submersible
pumps for construction and mine dewatering using the Flygt B, 2000, 2600, 2700
stainless steel and the 5100 abrasive-resistant series.
Planning
and business development are moving quickly in the new branches, with sales and
service personnel at each location. Bakhos notes, "The opportunity to
combine Godwin and Flygt forces at existing locations allows us to get to
market faster, through pre-existing channels for both brands. Product offerings
obviously complement each other, and we are eager to showcase the operational
efficiencies in availability of products, parts and services.”
The
alignment and expansion efforts throughout the Midwest are being spearheaded by
Godwin’s Midwest regional manager, Bob
Spinner.
“This
is an exciting time for us,” says Spinner. “When it comes to pumping
applications, the availability of both Flygt and Godwin in the same location
gives us a bigger pump toolbox for the absolutely most efficient solution to
every customers’ pumping needs.”
