The QRC is part of Flowserve's growing network of aftermarket service centers around the world. Located at Flowserve's existing Bangalore facility, the 4000 sq. ft. QRC will manufacture and service Flowserve Limitorque actuators for the petrochemical and power industry in India. Flowserve has maintained a local presence in the country since 1997.
"This new QRC ties directly into our globalization strategy.

Recently, the Bangalore QRC was approved as an authorized Factory Mutual facility. This approval means that Bangalore may assemble and test the MX actuator when supplied with an FM explosion proof label.
