Crane Company Announces Agreement to Acquire U.S. Water Pump Business from First Reserve-Backed Trillium Flow Technologies
STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT – September 14, 2026 - Crane Company (NYSE:CR) (“Crane” or the “Company”), a premier industrial manufacturing and technology company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the U.S. pump business from First Reserve-Backed Trillium Flow Technologies, a leading provider of highly engineered pump technologies primarily serving the U.S. municipal water and wastewater markets for approximately $240 million, representing a multiple of approximately 14.6x estimated 2026 adjusted EBITDA.
This acquisition brings highly recognized brands including Floway, Wemco, Roto-Jet and WSP which are mission-critical pumping solutions used primarily across municipal water and wastewater applications. The business benefits from a large installed base of equipment that supports recurring service, repair, retrofit, and replacement demand throughout the asset lifecycle.

"It expands our position in highly engineered pump technologies, increases our exposure to resilient water and wastewater markets, and brings a large installed base that generates recurring aftermarket demand. Just as importantly, we see multiple opportunities to increase the development of innovative products and solutions for our customers and create value by combining these strong brands and technologies with Crane's proven operating system and commercial excellence capabilities."
The acquired business expects full year revenue of approximately $115 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter and will be subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals.
