CUNO Foodservice Becomes 3M? Water Filtration; 3M Brand Power Highlights Company Commitment to Water Filtration, Reinforces Global Presence

Meriden, CT (PRWEB) December 10, 2007 -- CUNO Foodservice is leveraging its position as a part of the 3M family by re-branding its product line. The new name, 3M? Water Filtration, illustrates the 3M commitment to water filtration as a core offering and positions the company to accelerate its presence in industry-leading innovation. The new name is effective immediately, while the new look is slated to unfold over the next few months with an anticipated completion date of January 1, 2008.

In 2005, 3M acquired CUNO Incorporated, a leader in liquid filtration technology. With the acquisition of CUNO, 3M is positioned to address the quality of the global water supply, with practical and affordable filtration systems for commercial use.

"We are thrilled to have 3M embrace the pioneering contributions of CUNO to the Foodservice water-filtration marketplace," said Tim Carney, CUNO Vice President, Water Group. "As part of 3M, CUNO will continue to benefit from 3M's substantial investment in technology and innovation."

Maintaining a Culture of Innovation

In keeping CUNO as the manufacturer, 3M Water Filtration customers will continue to benefit from the expertise, product quality, maintenance savings, distribution and service that CUNO has sustained for decades.

In addition, customers will enjoy the power and synergy of the 3M brand that resonates as a proven leader in innovation and quality. From a business process position, the new name will also enable the company to better support its multinational customers and make its products more readily available in the global marketplace.

"We are confident that 3M Water Filtration will continue to build on CUNO Foodservice's past success and innovation," said Rick Knasel, CUNO Foodservice Director of Sales.
