BEREA, Ohio - December 20, 2007 - Tuthill Coupling Group, which manufactures Hansen and Coupleurs Gromelle quick connect couplings, has acquired the QUICKSEAL line of leak testing and pressure vessel testing equipment from Tuthill Pump Group.

"Our quick connect couplings are appreciated by our customers for their performance and value. Now they will have the ability to purchase quick connect testing systems from us as well."

This change will allow Tuthill Pump Group, headquartered in Alsip, IL, to focus more energy on their core markets and applications.
