Major investment improves Celeros FT’s pump test facilities

01/27/25

A major investment in our flagship pumps center in Scotland is set to transform the testing services we can offer our global customers . The new facilities, designed with a focus on sustainability, will provide a significantly improved customer experience and increase our testing capacity to support future business growth.

Gary Walker, our Director of Global Engineering Operations, explains: “We have efficiently and environmentally repurposed redundant office space to create a new 660m2 customer and staff suite with improved customer monitoring of tests. This significant investment in equipment upgrades will allow us to focus on the future, foster long-term business growth, and build on our position as a full lifecycle partner to our global customer base.”

The new customer suite delivers an improved customer experience for visitors to the site, with enhanced customer hosting facilities for witness testing. Additionally, the new and improved staff working area will accommodate future team growth to support increased test demands.

The new test modules feature state-of-the-art testing equipment, including two new design-make-build portable test loops. These test loops provide increased flexibility and greater efficiency in test set-up, and tests can run in parallel — doubling our test capacity. Running the modules in parallel also supports the testing of higher power units.

Rich Morin, our Chief Operating Officer, adds: “This strategic investment in our Cathcart ClydeUnion Pumps facility is a reflection of our focus on continuous improvement, quality of product, and customer delivery, supporting our global customer base for original equipment and aftermarket spares, services, and upgrades”.

Celeros FT has a long and proud heritage of designing and manufacturing pump equipment at the site in Cathcart, Glasgow, through its ClydeUnion Pumps brand. The investment supports testing of core ClydeUnion Pumps high-end technology products, such as the BB5 and BB3 multi-stage pumps for traditional markets including oil & gas, water, and power, as well as products supporting energy transition and security industries such as biofuels, nuclear, and carbon capture-transfer-storage.
