STAMFORD, Conn. and HOUSTON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trillium Flow Technologies ("Trillium"), a portfolio company of First Reserve and a leading provider of highly engineered flow control products and aftermarket services, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its U.S. pumps business, Trillium Pumps US ("TPU"), to Crane Company (NYSE: CR), a premier industrial manufacturing and technology company, for approximately $240 million.

"Together, we have advanced the business, improved performance and delivered consistently for our customers. We are proud of what we have built and look forward to the opportunities ahead alongside Crane."

"This transaction demonstrates the seamless execution of our value creation strategy," said Kerem Yilmaz, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Trillium Flow Technologies. "As we move toward closing, we remain focused on ensuring business continuity and a smooth transition for our customers, employees, and other stakeholders."
