Eindhoven Venture Capital Fund II (EVCFII) invested in Equflow in 2018 to allow the company to scale up and achieve its intended growth. That was a success. Now Saint-Gobain Life Sciences has announced the acquisition of Equflow.

 

Equflow is a leading developer and supplier of flow meters, manufactured for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. Primarily serving the single use bioprocessing market. The acquisition expands Saint-Gobain’s product capabilities within its Bio-Process Solutions (BPS) business.

 

“We are delighted to welcome Equflow to our organization and are excited about the opportunities this addition creates for our customers,” said Jean Angus, President and CEO of Saint-Gobain Life Sciences. “While we see opportunities to leverage Equflow’s fluid metering technologies across all of our businesses, we especially want to expand our single-use capabilities.” With some inherent overlap of customers and geographies, the addition of Equflow’s flowmeters and sensors to Saint-Gobain’s BPS portfolio complements its single-use fluid management solutions.

 

“It was important for us to find a partner who understands our applications, customers and markets,” says Daniël van Beek, CEO of Equflow BV. “With Saint-Gobain, we know we have the support and expertise of a global manufacturer, while maintaining our ability to innovate and create custom solutions that meet our customers’ needs.”
