In addition to its Fairview facility, the company maintains assembly and distribution facilities in Culver, Ind.; Marion, Ark.; Grand Island, Neb.; Brownfield, Texas and Fresno, Calif. To serve its Latin American customers, Hydroflo also maintains a sales and distribution facility in Panama Pacifico.  

According to the agreement, Brian Daschner will continue to stay on as CEO. Under the terms of the sale, Hydroflo becomes a wholly owned division of Taco Inc.  

“We have been doing business with Hydroflo for a couple of years now, providing products to meet each others’ needs, and we saw a mutual opportunity through this acquisition to grow both Hydroflo and Taco,” said Hazen White Jr. “It opens up whole new markets for Taco and allows us to invest in Hydroflo to boost its pump technology and increase its business in all the markets it serves.”
