Over its history, the Lightnin brand has seen many accomplishments, including introducing cutting-edge technologies like the invention of the flat-bladed radial turbine and the continuous mixing column.

SPX FLOW president of Mixing Solutions, Wendy Malone, says, “Lightnin and all our mixing brands have built a reputation based on trust, partnership and reliability," Malone said. "We celebrate this milestone while looking forward to plans to offer the same outstanding customer service for years to come.”

The company started in 1923 and introduced the Lightnin brand, named for the quick turnaround in delivering the products to customers.

More recently, Lightnin is known for its mixers and agitators serving the challenging waste and water treatment sector as well as the processing of solvents.
