Italian desalination pump manufacturer Tecnicomar opened its new facility in Marsala, Sicily, on May 31.

The firm says that the opening of the new plant (pictured) is an indication of Tecnicomar's relaunch.

Tecnicomar was formed in 1978 as a distributor of American desalination units. In 1980 the firm started to produce its own desalination systems. The company also has a base in Viareggio providing technical service in northern Italy.
