Phoenix-based manufacturer of Unidirectional Captive Displacement Provers (Small Volume Provers) announces the acquisition of a new building and expanded manufacturing facilities.
Flow Management Devices (FMD) announces the completion of the expansion and update to their manufacturing facilities. The need for additional manufacturing capacity came about due to the overwhelming demand for Flow Management Devices 4th Generation Proving technology.
FMD acquired an adjacent building allowing for expansion of overall available manufacturing space to exceed one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet. The current building was recently renovated to expand the manufacturing floor, adding additional capacity for assembly, build-out, and testing. The new building houses the shipping, receiving and material management functions, enabling FMD to streamline the production process.
Flow Management Devices (part of the FMD Group of Companies), introduced the 4th Generation Prover Technology at the International School of Hydrocarbon Measurement in 2017 and began selling and manufacturing the 4th Gen Prover line as of January 2018. “We are grateful to our customers for their support of the 4th Gen Prover technology” states Alex Ignatian, CEO of The FMD Group of Companies. “Our customers are the key to our growth, and with this expansion, we’ve added additional capacity to continue to meet our on-time deliveries and maintain our promise of 100% Customer Satisfaction always.”
Due to Flow MDs growth, FMD Distribution and Service (the sales and service business unit) has expanded sales, service and support functions. Additions to the team include two additional Field Service Technicians, an Administrative Support person as well as Doug Finley as the Mountain States Regional Sales Manager and Seth Bowman as the Technical Sales Manager.
