![In 2004 Pentair bought WICOR Industries, the former water systems subsidiary of Wisconsin
Energy, for $850 million.[5] WICOR made water pumps, filters, and pool equipment components
under the Sta-Rite, SHURflo, and Hypro brands.
In 2005 Pentair bought some of the assets of APW for $144 million, including McLean Thermal
Management, Aspen Motion Technologies, and Electronic Solutions,[6] all of which provide thermal
management products[7] and integration services to the telecom, medical, and security industries.
This broadened Pentair's technical products line to include markets outside of the traditional
electrical and electronics businesses.
In 2006 Pentair purchased Germany-based Jung Pumpen GmbH,[8][9] which makes pumps and other
products for wastewater processing. The deal was completed in early 2007 for $227 million.[10]
Other acquisitions in 2005 and 2006 included Acu-Trol, Inc.,[11] Delta Environmental Products,
selected assets of Krystal Klear, and a 70% stake in Beijing Jieming Tiandi Environmental Equipment
(which was later renamed to Beijing Pentair Water Jieming), which produces fiberglass-reinforced
pressure tanks and filters.
The company has announced an agreement to acquire water filtration and separation firm Porous
Media for approximately $225 million. It has said that it plans to continue an active course of
acquisitions, especially to grow its business outside the U.S.
Mergers
In a major move in 2012, Pentair Inc. (PNR) and Tyco International Ltd. (TYC)'s flow control
business formally combined to create Pentair Ltd. The new company is described as a global
manufacturer of "water and fluid solutions, valves and controls, equipment protection and thermal
management products". Tyco shareholders now own approximately 52.5% and former Pentair Inc.
shareholders own approximately 47.5% of Pentair Ltd. Following this merger the new company is
based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, with 30,000 employees and 100 manufacturing plants in 30
countries
Discontinued operations
Pentair has discontinued its Century/Lincoln and Lincoln Industrial service equipment operations. It
also exited the tools business with the sale of its power tools group (which had previously accounted
for 40% of http://www.power-eng.com/water-issues/water-treatment.html sales) in October 2004 to
Black & Decker for nearly $800 million.[11] Pentair then used that money to pay off much of the
WICOR acquisition.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
