Customers to benefit as Morin actuators integrate into Biffi range

Move will bring increased options and add greater geographical range to Pentair’s customer care teams

Pentair Actuation and Controls has integrated two of its key actuator ranges, Morin and Biffi, in a move which will provide significant benefits to those who operate heavy duty valve applications.

The Biffi range has a 60 year track record of reliable performance within the oil and gas sector. This accumulated experience has seen the product evolve to meet customer requirements time and time again. Meanwhile, Morin was the first brand to develop a complete stainless steel scotch yoke actuator and to this day remains the benchmark.

Morin will become a product name under the Biffi brand which, together as a unified product range, will offer customers a wider, stronger and more complete offering in the heavy duty valve operation sector. Customers who have traditionally purchased either the Morin or Biffi actuators will now find they have an extended choice of sizes and materials; greater support over wider geographical areas; and will be able to source the entire range from their existing contacts.

As those who procure flow control products will know, the pressures on products and those who supply them have never been greater. As life cycles shorten and certification and documentation requirements increase it becomes vitally important to have a supply chain team you can rely on. Through this integration Pentair Actuation & Controls is bringing together a team who has years of experience of meeting customer needs across varied sectors.

Entering into a partnership with Pentair Actuation & Controls in heavy valve automation will provide customers with high levels of service and quick turnaround times across the globe.

Paolo Baroni, global marketing director, Pentair Actuation & Controls, commented:

‘Integrating the Morin range under the Biffi brand enables us to respond to changing market needs, enhance customer proximity, and deliver excellent levels of service. Our consolidated offering provides improved scope for a complete actuation solution for a wide spectrum of application needs. Plus, by manufacturing internally, we maintain full control of critical components, process and quality.’

Jacqueline Onditi, global product manager for piston actuators, added:

‘Throughout our long history in actuation, our products have evolved to the highest standards and we have developed a high value, integrated proposition to meet every possible customer requirement. At Pentair Actuation & Controls, we invest in technical training and global resources to deliver a personalized service and offer bespoke solutions to our customers as the partner of choice.’
