PROFILE |
 |
There's no escaping gravity, and that's good for the Weir Group, a maker of pumps for use in mining, in addition to moving water, sewage, and oil. Weir's diverse line of pumps, which account for 60% of the company's sales, handle nearly anything from gravel to corrosive slurries. Weir Group also provides engineering services and makes valves, materials-handling equipment, desalination plants, and water, sewage, and effluent treatment plants. It owns interests in the Devonport Royal Dockyard and First Engineering, which maintains railway infrastructure. Originally a maker of pumps for steam engines, the company now operates 100 manufacturing and service centers worldwide.
