AUXERRE, France (Nov. 17, 2016) — Mouvex, part of PSG, a Dover company and a leading manufacturer of positive displacement pumps, announced that it is celebrating its 110-year anniversary in 2016.

Headquartered in Auxerre, France, Mouvex was founded in 1906 by engineer André Petit when he identified the challenges that gear and lobe pump users were facing in optimizing their processes and invented the eccentric disc pump as a result. Since that time, Mouvex has become a worldwide leader in positive displacement pumps and compressors for the transfer of liquids and dry bulk products within the hygienic, chemical, energy, military and transport industries. Mouvex became part of PSG in 2008, and now has operations on five continents with a global network of distributors and original equipment manufacturers.

“One-hundred-ten years in business is a great success for Mouvex, and we are extremely proud to be celebrating such a milestone in the company’s history,” said Xavier Blin, president of Mouvex. “When Mr. Petit invented the eccentric disc pump in 1906, he revolutionized the industry and started a long-standing tradition of offering reliable and dependable pumps to the world. Therefore, we are constantly developing new products and conquering new markets to ensure the company’s future. Throughout our 110-year history, we have made a commitment to product and service quality and innovation. It is this commitment, along with going beyond customers’ needs and actively participating in their global performance, that has not only made Mouvex a highly successful company in the French marketplace, but globally as well. Mr. Petit would be very proud, and celebrating 110 years is a testament to the dedication shown by both our employees and channel partners.”
