ITT INDUSTRIES' FLUID BUSINESS UNVEILS NEW WEBSITE

28/07/2003

ITT Industries announced that it has launched a new website to reflect the changing makeup of its fluids businesses. The new site - located at www.ittfluidbusiness.com - gives customers, prospects and other constituents a comprehensive view of the relationships between the company's many complimentary brands and integrated solutions.

Since 1995 ITT Industries has steadily expanded in its core water and wastewater pump markets through aggressive product innovation and organic sales growth. At the same time, the company has added to its capabilities in complimentary markets - including aeration, monitoring, filtration and reverse osmosis - through a series of strategic acquisitions. The new website aims to demonstrate how these new products and acquired capabilities mesh to provide customers with complete systems in water, wastewater, building trade, bio-chemical/pharmaceutical, and industrial markets.

"We continue to execute on a business strategy designed to bring together products and services in adjacent markets in order to deliver greater value through complete solutions - not just standalone products", said Robert Ayers, president of ITT Industries' fluid businesses. "Our new website illustrates this strategy for customer and prospects and makes it easy for them to visualize ITT's capabilities."

The new site uses commonly available web technology to present visitors with a map depicting typical municipal or industrial fluid handling applications. By clicking through the site, guests can drill-down within specific applications to get detailed information about ITT brands and products at play. Customers can then click through to the home pages of individual brands - like Lowara - to get customer service or sales information.
