Harben, a leading provider of high-pressure pump systems and solutions, recently announced a significant milestone in its history: The successful completion of a management buyout led by CEO Jennifer Wade.
The transaction marks Harben’s transition to independent ownership after 45 years as part of Flowplant Group Limited.
This strategic move signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Harben, reinforcing its commitment to growth, operational focus, and continued excellence in serving customers across North America.
For more than four decades, Harben and Flowplant have maintained a close and collaborative relationship, building strong operational synergies, shared expertise, and a highly effective joint team. The buyout reflects the strength of that longstanding partnership while positioning both organizations for future success with clearer strategic focus.
“As we step into this new phase, we are building on a strong foundation while creating new opportunities for growth and innovation,” Wade says. “This transition represents both continuity and momentum, ensuring we remain focused on delivering the quality, reliability, and service our customers expect.”
As part of the agreement, Harben will continue as the exclusive authorized distributor of Harben Pumps and genuine spare parts across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This reinforces the company’s strong position in the North American market and ensures uninterrupted access to trusted products, technical support, and service for its customers and partners.
The partnership between Harben and Flowplant will remain a critical component of both companies’ futures, with ongoing collaboration as key commercial partners.
For Flowplant Group Limited, the transition allows for increased strategic focus within its own operations while maintaining a strong and valued relationship with Harben.
“This milestone reflects the success of our long-standing collaboration and sets the stage for continued shared success,” the companies noted in a joint statement. “We are proud of what has been accomplished together and are excited about the opportunities ahead.”
For customers and partners, the message is clear: Business continues as usual, with the same trusted products, experienced team, and commitment to excellence that have defined Harben for decades.
With independent ownership, proven leadership, and a strengthened strategic outlook, Harben is well-positioned to accelerate growth and deliver even greater value in the years ahead.
