Podcast: MilliporeSigma says education vital to creating unbreakable chain for sustainability
MilliporeSigma discusses the importance of people, education, and the benefits of embracing discomfort to bolster sustainability efforts.
Biomanufacturing vendor Dover will bolster its Pumps & Process Solutions segment via the addition of Malema’s single-use flow sensor technology.
The $225 million cash deal, expected to close in the second quarter, sees Dover add flow-measurement and control instruments maker Malema Engineering Corporation to its service offering.
Malema, which is set to make approximately $40-45 million in sales in 2022, produces single-use flow sensors using Coriolis technology which it claims reduces the potential for measurement error and the need for calibration in time-sensitive and contamination-intolerant environments.

“We see a tremendous long-term growth opportunity in the bioprocessing industry driven by a strong and growing pipeline of effective novel biologic drugs, biosimilars, protein therapies, non-COVID mRNA vaccines, as well as budding cell & gene therapies,” Karl Buscher, president of Dover’s PSG brands (which includes the Pumps & Process Solutions segment) said.
“Additionally, the growing adoption of more efficient single-use production processes supports a robust outlook for our offerings of single-use components to end-customers. We believe that pairing Malema’s technology with our existing portfolio of single-use pumps for biopharma processing will greatly enhance the accuracy and value proposition of our solutions to our customers.”
Dover’s CEO Richard Tobin added: “We are methodically building out our biopharma platform through proactive capacity additions, new product development, and opportunistic acquisitions of highly-attractive niche component technologies.
“Malema represents a strategic and highly-complementary flow-control and sensing technology and further strengthens our sensor portfolio with new proprietary technology.”
