Artemyn, with 1000 employees across 24 plants in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, generated $400 million in revenue and $60 million in EBITDA.

Known for their high-efficiency submersible motors and pumps, Pleuger Industries delivers premium German-engineered solutions for water applications. Pleuger Industries will collaborate with Artemyn to enhance operational efficiencies and drive R&D in mining products.
