Thus was born Durametallic India Limited, Sanmar’s first joint venture, now called Flowserve Sanmar Limited. Following the success of this partnership, the group entered into many more joint ventures, identifying the right product for the right needs and bringing superior technology to India by partnering with world leaders. The products manufactured at SEC are not for large- scale consumption but custom-made to meet specific applications in each industry. Well-equipped machine shops with computer aided, numerically controlled machines, ensure that the products Durametallic India... manufactured at SEC are identical to those available at any of the JV partners’ facilities anywhere in the world. High ...and now quality castings made available by SEC’s state-of-the-art foundry also contribute to the competitive edge of SEC’s and its joint venture partners’ product range. Today, SEC is one of the most diversified groups in the process equipment market offering total engineering solutions. The greatest challenge for SEC will be to anticipate the level of service customers expect and quickly meet their demands. With customers spread all over the world, SEC is focused on catering to them on time through excellence in management and manufacturing processes, ensuring high quality products and efficient services. ...is Flowserve Sanmar today. 5 Milestones 1976 - Formation of Durametallic India; SEC begins operations at Karapakkam, Chennai 1981 - BS&B Safety Systems and Sanmar Weighing Systems commence commercial operations 1983 - SEC operations extended to Viralimalai Complex, near Trichy— Xomox Valves inaugurated 1984 - FMC Sanmar commences commercial production of Smith Meters and Crosby Safety Relief Valves 1989 - Sensortronics Sanmar and Asco (India) commence operations 1994 - Xomox adds Fisher Control Valves to its range and the company changes name to Fisher – Xomox to reflect this 1996 - Sanmar Industrial Systems is formed out of an internal restructuring of the group’s presence in the electronics business 1997 - Sanmar Alloy Castings establishes itself as a major supplier of castings 1998 - Sanmar-PTI Filters commences commercial production 1999 - To reflect the world wide restructuring of operations, the existing operations of Crosby in FMC Sanmar are separated out as Tyco Sanmar 2000 - Dedication of the new manufacturing facility of Tyco Sanmar at Viralimalai 2001 - Sanmar Engineering Corporation celebrates Silver Jubilee. 2001 - Sanmar Alloy Castings commissions the state-of-the-art Investment Castings facility at Viralimalai 2001 - Closure of Sanmar-PTI Filters operations 2001 - Sanmar Industrial Systems merges with Sanmar Engineering Services 2002 - Sensortronics Sanmar begins to operate as a joint venture with Vishay Transducers, pursuant to the acquisition of Sensortronics Inc., USA by Vishay 2003 - Demerger of the operations of the Fisher & Xomox divisions of Fisher-Xomox Sanmar, following the restructuring of the operations of the joint venture partners 2003 - Merger of Sanmar Alloy Castings with FMC Technologies Sanmar; in-house machining capacity at the Viralimalai complex 2003 - Sanmar Alloy Castings Limited name changed to Sanmar Foundries Limited 2004-2005 - Sanmar Weighing Systems Limited name changed to Strategic Weighing Systems, a Division of Sanmar Engineering Services Limited 2006 - Strategic Weighing Systems divested 6 Constituents and Products/ Services of SEC Constituent JV Partner (Licensor) Product/Business Asco (India) Limited Automatic Switch Company, USA Solenoid Valves, Pressure and Temperature (a subsidiary of Emerson) Switches, Expansion Valves, General Controls Combustion Products and Joucomatic Pneumatic Products BS&B Safety Systems (India) Limited BS&B Safety Systems Inc., USA Rupture Disks, Explosion Vents and Safety Equipment Fisher Sanmar Limited — Valve Division Fisher Controls International Inc., USA Control Valves, Level Transmitters and (a subsidiary of Emerson) Desuperheaters —Regulator Division Fisher Controls International Inc., USA Industrial Regulators and LPG Fittings/Valves (a subsidiary of Emerson) Flowserve Sanmar Limited Flowserve Corporation, USA Mechanical Seals and Accessories Sanmar Engineering Services Limited — Engineering Services Sanmar Foundries Limited — Foundry (Sand and Investment Castings) and Machine Shop Tyco Sanmar Limited Tyco International Ltd., USA Safety and Safety Relief Valves Vishay Sanmar Limited Vishay Transducers Ltd., USA Load Cells (a subsidiary of Vishay Measurements Group Inc.)

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
