Flowserve's heritage dates back to the 1790 founding of Simpson & Thompson by Thomas Simpson, later to become Worthington Simpson Pumps, one of the companies that became part of BW/IP.[6] The company was created in 1997 with the merger of two fluid motion and control companies: BW/IP and Durco International.
