| Colfax Corporation announced its Colfax-Imo Pompes Business Unit in France will provide oil pumps and other fluid-handling systems for Barracuda-class nuclear submarines being built for the French Navy. Colfax will deliver the first pumping systems to French naval-defense contractor Direction des Constructions Navales Services between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. They will be used aboard the Suffren, the first of six submarines that will enter active service between 2016 and 2027. Colfax will continue to provide service, training, parts and documentation for its systems during the service life of the vessels. :theflyonthewall.com |
