KSB has announced the completion of its US$44 million multiphase expansion of the GIW facility in Grovetown, Georgia, USA. KSB went ahead with the project’s completion, despite the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic fallout.
With the completion of the project, KSB has quadrupled its capacity to mold castings over 20,000 lbs (9000 kg), increased its maximum pouring output by up to 66,000 lbs (30,000 kg), reduced the number of required shot blast runs by 50%, added special cleaning stations for large castings, implemented new technology and efficiency solutions, and doubled employee locker room facilities.
In 2020, the KSB Group launched KSB Mining, a new market-driven organization providing expertise on centrifugal pumps to mining operations.
The expanded facilities in Grovetown serve as the headquarters of GIW Slurry Pumps.
