Major changes at Autoclude and Victor Marine

Autoclude have launched a new range of cased peristaltic pumps, featuring the new Easy-Tube loading pump head, and a series of new marine products including Oily Water Separators from Victor Marine

Autoclude, the UK based manufacturers of peristaltic pumps have, since their acquisition by the Samuel Hodge Group some twenty years ago, traded as a division of Victor Pyrate.

From 1 April however the company underwent some major changes.

The continuing international success of the Autoclude business has encouraged the group to launch Autoclude as a separate company to Victor Pyrate who themselves will be relaunched as Victor Marine to reflect the company's global position within the marine sector.

Victor Marine has also recently acquired the Hodge Oily Water 'Victor Minisep' marine operation to produce a range of oily water separators.

Mr Robert Croft, MD of Autoclude and Victor Marine, said "We have a unique window of opportunity to develop beyond our current substantial positions within both the pump and marine markets.

In April at the Analytica show in Munich, we launched a new range of Autoclude cased peristaltic pumps featuring the new Easy Tube loading pump head and a series of new marine products including the first Oily Water Separators which rolled off the Victor Marine production line".

Other changes include the promotion of John Watkins to General Manager of Autoclude; John first joined the company eighteen years ago as a development engineer and has much experience of the company products, systems and markets.

Autoclude launched its new range of cased peristaltic pumps and corporate image at the Achema 2006 exhibition in Frankfurt.
