In an era defined by energy transition, digital disruption, and geopolitical volatility, industrial leaders face a simple truth: the structures that delivered past success may not enable future resilience. That’s why AUMA, the global specialist in electric valve actuators and control systems, has announced a comprehensive restructuring of its Executive Board—a deliberate move to strengthen […]
In today’s industrial landscape, pumps move more than fluids—they move costs, carbon, and competitiveness. Yet too often, pumping systems are treated as “set-and-forget” infrastructure: specified once, installed quietly, and maintained reactively. That mindset is no longer viable. As energy prices fluctuate, climate regulations tighten, and stakeholders demand transparency, sustainable pumping isn’t a niche initiative—it’s a […]
