Chart and Flowserve to merge in $19bn deal
US industrial equipment businesses Chart Industries and Flowserve are to merge in a major $19bn deal that aims to establish a scaled industrial process technology business with a range of ‘flow and thermal’ solutions. The deal is expected to close in Q4 this year.
