SPXFlow Technology Germany GmbH

Business in Europe has always been about more than European businesses. International players choose to base themselves in Europe for the market access, highly skilled labour and the reputation for great quality. SPXFlow, a North Carolina-based engineering company, has been tapping into this, growing a large operating base in Norderstedt, Germany, which specializes in producing components and systems for oil extraction and chemical processing applications. Under the leadership of Manager Karl Kutz, its operations in northern Germany are making the most of their European location amidst competition from emerging markets.
