On July 13, 2015, the Hydraulic Institute (HI) and BSB Edge entered into a joint business agreement granting BSB Edge license to market and sell ANSI/HI pump standards, guidelines, and guidebooks around the globe. As the largest association of pump manufacturers in North America, HI develops and promotes pump standards, guidelines, and other resources to promote excellence in the engineering, manufacture, and application of pumping equipment throughout the world.

An ISO 9001 certified organization, BSB Edge works with many leading international standard developing organizations to provide an entire range of services related to marketing, distribution, training programs, and providing industrial standards.

Khushinder Gupta, General Manager, Business Development, BSB Edge states, “Using the resources of the Hydraulic Institute that creates engineering standards for all types of pumps and pumping systems, our corporation can better serve our global customers in offering best-in-class technical standards in the growing pump market.”

HI has the largest range of standards and guidebooks that provide in-depth knowledge in effective application, testing, installation, operation, maintenance and performance optimization of pumps and pumping systems.

“This licensing agreement is a key component in HI’s strategic plan for continued global growth” said Michael Michaud, Executive Director, Hydraulic Institute. “BSB has a solid reputation for serving the needs of industrial and municipal end users in India and the Gulf States, where HI is under-represented. We look forward to working with BSB in these markets and in new ones as we both continue to grow HI towards developing more technical resources and training programs and BSB towards marketing standards and technical documents more accessible to pump manufacturers and pump end-users worldwide.”
