Colfax's Warren Pumps Receives Favorable Ruling in Asbestos Insurance Case

Colfax Corporation, a global leader in fluid-handling solutions for critical applications, announced today that its Warren Pumps subsidiary received a favorable ruling in its asbestos insurance case.

The decision issued October 14, 2009, by the Delaware Court of Chancery confirmed that Warren is entitled to excess insurance coverage purchased by a former owner of the business. The Court also ruled that Warren's asbestos-related costs should be allocated among excess insurers using an "all sums" allocation. This allows Warren to collect amounts paid in connection with a claim from any insurer whose policy is triggered, up to the policy's applicable limits. This litigation and the decision are separate and apart from insurance litigation involving Colfax's Imo subsidiary.

Revolutionary AODD Pump Energy Savings Device Announced by Proportion-Air

From ThomasNet News: Daniel E. Cook, President and CEO of Proportion-Air, Inc. announced the introduction of the new MizAir® energy savings device for Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps. The product will save up to 50% of the energy used by AODD pumps.

The most effective way to make AODD pumps more energy efficient is to better manage the air they consume. The obstacle has always been that no two AODD pumps are the same, making it nearly impossible to design a product that consistently works. Until now.
