Corporate Vision January 2017
, A.W. Chesterton Company works with industrial companies around the globe to provide fluid sealing solutions and equipment wear protection solutions that help plant processes runmore reliably, efficiently, and sustainably. We caught up with BrandManagement Manager Sharon Raymond to find out more. Engineering Excellence Established in 1884 by Arthur “A.W.” Chesterton, this company started as “Chesterton Company,” a purveyor of steamboat and engineering supplies, on the Boston, Massachusetts waterfront. The firm has since grown into a world leader that helps industrial companies as well as manufacturers improve the sealing reliability of pumps, valves, cylinders, presses and other equipment that seal fluid or gases. Drawing on over 133 years’ experience in the market, the firm is known across a wide range of industries for applications expertise and knowledgeable hands-on local service. Sharon describes the firm’s mission and the techniques it employs to achieve this. “At Chesterton, our mission is to provide customers with innovative and tailored solutions for fluid sealing, equipment protection, and lubrication and make the world a cleaner place.” “This is achieved by working with each customer to find the best solution for their sealing or equipment protection challenge. We stay close to our customers to understand their daily challenges and the time constraints they are facing.” One of the firm’s recent successful campaigns was a five-part Water & Wastewater Webinar Series designed to help reliability engineers and maintenance supervisors working in those industries. Chesterton presented best practices in pump sealing to save water and energy, increase pump efficiency, and reduce equipment wear and tear from abrasive forces. The sessions also showcased their ability to work closely with customers and provide solutions tailored to their needs. Sharon outlines how they support end users. “Our customers fall into two distinct groups: Distributors around the globe who sell to end users, and end users themselves. We aim to meet their specific needs with quality products delivered on time. “To support customers, our sales specialists work to get a good understanding of the major sealing challenges faces by the customer, based on the types of material being sealed, the age and type of equipment, the manpower/maintenance constraints, production goals, and more.” Operating in such an evolving market A.W. Chesterton Company has to work hard to remain at the cutting edge of new developments. Sharon concludes by discussing the latest innovations the firm has introduced and how the company will continue to adapt and build its product portfolio around the needs of its clients. “Recently we introduced Chesterton DualPac™ 2211, which is an innovative braided packing technology. This new solution represents a significant advancement in braiding technology that will lead to better performance and longer life for pumps dealing with severe slurries, which can be extremely abrasive and difficult on equipment. Our engineers continuously research new technologies to help our end users save time and increase equipment performance. We have many exciting new developments in the pipeline to continue to offer our customers the very best solutions to meet their ever-evolving needs.” K Company: A.W.
