First Quarter 2005 News & events

The first half of the ERTEC, Zambia pump order designed for water reticulation systems in Kitwe, Chingola, Chililabombwe and Luanshya has landed in South Africa from India and the pumps are now on their way to their new homes. The balance of the order is currently in Mumbai and is due to be delivered at the end of the year. Dave Johnson, divisional manager of the Mather & Platt 'own brand' division, says, "We are very pleased with the service we have received from the Mather & Platt factory in Pune." Several large pumps are still in transit at present but the order should be completed by the end of the year. The 96 pumps are expected to make a substantial difference to water and waste management in the respective communities.

"The tough, enduring quality of these pumps make them a sound, long-lasting investment in the health and welfare of Zambia's people. We are renowned for our back-up service and offer many ways to extend the life of your Mather & Platt pump, no matter what age or size," says Johnson.
