Moyno, Inc. announced May 22 that National Oilwell Varco (NOV) completed the acquisition of Robbins & Myers. Robbins & Myers industrial products will now be offered under the Houston-based NOV Mono division of National Oilwell Varco.  

The new NOV Mono is now the world’s largest designer and manufacturer of progressing cavity pumps, according to a company statement.

The legacy Robbins & Myers business was a leading supplier of engineered equipment and systems for critical applications in global energy, industrial, municipal, chemical and pharmaceutical markets.

The following Robbins & Myers businesses are now part of the NOV Mono business:
