A boring, but smart company. It is reasonably valued, sells a globally critical product, and more importantly, has brilliant management. From Schwab:

"Through the manufacturing platform, the Company offers a range of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting."

This means they don't just sell you a pump and walk away. They come back in a month to make sure your pump is still pumping. And in a year. And again in 10 years. And when something goes wrong, they fix it. All for a price. This is brilliant!
