“Steve played a key role in successfully transforming PG Flow Solutions from being a supplier primarily to the marine and offshore industries, to also becoming a trusted supplier of innovative pump and liquid handling solutions to the aquaculture industry and land-based industries such as wastewater. We are grateful for his excellent contribution over many years,” said Stig Olav Bjørkedal.
