With GEA behind us, we can now meet these needs with a strengthened product range and even more specialist expertise.
Mattias Steffl, Business Area Manager for Pumps at Colly Flowtech, explains:
”Today, customers are not just looking for components. They want a partner who can help them streamline their processes, reduce energy consumption, and develop solutions tailored to their specific production.”

GEA’s valve solutions complement our existing range and enable us to take greater overall responsibility – especially in industries with strict hygiene, reliability, and certification requirements.
The result? Fewer suppliers to manage, better overview, and more cohesive technical support. The combination of GEA’s global resources and our local presence also means:
- Shorter lead times

All to support smoother processes, increased operational reliability, and better business outcomes.
