6 BPMA News
Diary
BPMA MEMBERSHIP GROWS Three new members, the publication of the latest buyer’s guide, a sold-out CE Marking course and partnerships with four industry events have marked a busy few months for the BPMA.
F
or some months the BPMA has been campaigning for the proper CE Marking of assembled systems and machinery utilising pumps. The organisation has a mandate to ensure that the correct standards and directives are adhered to across the pump manufacturing and supply arena and is supporting organisations with the information and guidance needed to be compliant. In July the Association held its first CE Marking guidance course. The session provided the knowledge and skills required to understand the essentials of self-certification CE Marking. It also covered other related product certification and documentation issues. The sold-out course was a huge success and a second has been scheduled for October 1st. Details can be found on the associations’ website (bpma.org.uk) and it is open to members and non-members alike. July also saw the publication of the latest version of the BPMA’s Buyer’s Guide & Directory. Packed full of important pump sector news and technical specifications for all pump types, along with updates from both the BPMA and its 80+ strong membership, the guide, which provides unparalleled levels of technical and application-based information, is available free of charge by contacting Steve Smith at the association on 0121 601 6691. Another publication with invaluable information for the pump sector was published in July; the 2019-20 World Pump report, created specifically for the Pump Industry by Oxford Economics. The report is designed to provide essential insight for professionals looking to understand the economic and sectoral forces shaping the pump market. The report is made available free of charge to members of the BPMA, and non-members can purchase access to the report via the Oxford Economics website (bit.ly/2KTxHSr). The BPMA has welcomed three new members in recent weeks. The first is RuhrPumpen-Industrial, a division of the Global family-owned RuhrPumpen group. The company is responsible for manufacturing, servicing, packaging and supporting pumping equipment for use across the process & industrial markets, construction, and building services for fire protection. The second is DESMI A/S, a global manufacturer of pumps and systems for liquid handling, ballast water management and equipment for oil spill response. The third business to recognise the benefits of BPMA membership is Saniflo, which is best known for its range of domestic macerators and pumps that enable extra facilities to be installed when gravity drainage isn’t feasible. Finally, the BPMA has confirmed its attendance at several industry events scheduled for the coming months. The first is the Flood Expo which takes place at the Birmingham NEC on September 11 and 12. The next is Floodex running at the Peterborough Arena on February 26-27, 2020. Then the association will be at Fluid Sealing in Manchester from March 4-6 and then also in Manchester for ChemUK from May 13-14. Members of the team will be on hand at all these events and look forward to meeting anyone PUMP BUYERS GU IDE & DIRECTORY interested in finding out more about the Association’s work. 2019 -20
