Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), celebrated a historic decade of togetherness with SPP Pumps UK. It is exactly 10 years ago on November 7, 2003, that KBL acquired SPP Pumps. Prior to the acquisition, the two companies had traded for almost 4 decades. The celebration was attended by the entire staff of SPP Pumps and other stakeholders.

Today SPP operates out of two sites in the UK, with an office based in the city of Reading and the manufacturing facility based in Coleford, Gloucestershire. There are also five smaller, regionally based service centres. In addition, there are overseas facilities in Dubai, France, South Africa, Singapore and the United States. Mr. Alok Kirloskar is at the helm of affairs and oversees the affairs of this £ 68 million company.

In the last ten years, KBL – SPP Pumps association has had its fair share of success. Sales in the UK have skyrocketed by 280% while sales in Oil and Gas fire sets have risen by a staggering 560%. And more importantly, the company has contributed £ 1.5 million in income tax to the exchequer.
