May 24, 2007 -- Frost & Sullivan is proud to showcase Movers & Shakers interviews, highlighting dynamic companies and leaders in the corporate world. These organizations and individuals are recognized for achieving milestones such as launching a breakthrough technology, executing a key strategic acquisition, or implementing a revolutionary vision for the future of their industries.
"The North American potable water industry faces critical challenges based on aging infrastructure and budget constraints," notes Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Clint Adamkavicius. "System operators will need partnerships with strong and innovative suppliers to overcome these obstacles. Unique products such as Kubota Valve Division's Ported Disc Valve will ultimately help operators address these key challenges."
The Movers & Shakers interview features Hirohito Tokiwa, General Manager for Kubota's Valve Division. While the company is well known in North America for its heavy agricultural and construction equipment, Kubota's Valve and Pipe group is a leading supplier in the Asian municipal water markets. With a strong commitment to engineering excellence, this group has created a unique butterfly valve, the Ported Disc Valve, that is being introduced to the North American market at the American Water Works Association Annual Expo (ACE07).
