MONO UK, through AQS, brings many new technologies and product advances to a South African market that has been starved of such progress for some time. Most famous is the EZSTRIP range of transfer pumps, cake pumps, TR munchers, API 676 pumps and mine de-watering packages that offer in-place repair and up to 80% improvement in repair turnaround time.

Advances in product offerings to ensure extended lifetime and reduced lifecycle costs are critical to specialised industries and offer AQS some exciting opportunities of expansion in the fields of food and beverage, oil and gas and paper and pulp.

AQS has been extremely active in the South African market since its inception and its rapid growth in the local market can be attributed to forming partnerships with world leading manufacturers and adopting an attitude of dogged commitment to nurture and grow these relationships.

The marriage within AQS of positive displacement, progressive cavity and centrifugal technologies gives the customer an unbiased opinion of the advantages of each and ensures that the solution meets the brief in every way.
