Flow International Corporation announced on May 13, 2009 that it has established a network of new distributors, building the foundation of a new channel of distribution to complement its industry-leading direct sales channel.

Flow reached agreements with some of the top North American distributors of machine tools. As waterjets continue to find acceptance in manufacturing facilities and fabrication shops, these industry leading dealers will provide local application, showroom, sales, and customer support in many of the industrial centers of North America.

Within the United States, the newly signed distributors are Capital Machinery Technologies, Ellison Machinery Company, Fox Machinery Associates, Gladwin Machinery & Supply Company, and Modern Machinery Company. In Canada, Flow reached agreement with Modern Tool, Wallace Machinery and Tool Company, and Westway Machinery.

Global EDM Supplies Inc., a leading provider of EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) supplies and technical expertise, also was recently added as a Flow distributor of the WaterjetConnect brand of waterjet consumables and spares for the general waterjet market. “We are excited about the local sourcing option companies with EDM and waterjet systems now have for service parts for both systems,” said Mark Powell, Flow’s manager of aftermarket sales.

“Flow is pleased to work with some of the finest machine tool dealers in North America,” said Jeff Hohman EVP and general manager, Flow International. “Waterjet technology is ideally suited for manufactures of all types. This new network allows them to access our technology and deal with people they already have trusted relations with. We look forward to the increased market penetration they will provide and the resulting increased awareness of waterjet capabilities.”
