The combining of Nash, the leader in liquid ring vacuum pumps, with elmo, the leader in side channel blowers, created nash_elmo, a global leader in vacuum technology. Today, as the Gardner Denver Nash, we provide improved global service and technical support for Nash liquid ring vacuum pumps, compressors and engineered systems, serving the chemical, petroleum, power, paper, mining, environmental, food, and wastewater treatment industries. The Nash Division of Gardner Denver has manufacturing facilities in the China, Germany and Brazil and Engineered To Order (ETO) centers in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania, USA Singapore Smithfield, NSW, Australia Nuremberg, Germany and Assendelft, Netherlands. Our service centers are ISO 9001:2008 certified and can be found in North America England, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands Australia, Singapore and Korea Brazil and South Africa. We also have distribution centers in North America, Netherlands, Singapore and Brazil, which stock parts and replacement pumps. When it is apparent that dozens of solutions to the need for a vacuum system are potentially feasible, NASH engineers utilize their expertise to search out the best alternative. We investigate with our customers the economics of valuable product recovery. We take into account such environmental considerations as disposal of unwanted process carryover. We find ways to conserve power, water, and heat energy. We evaluate system arrangements, scheduled maintenance and service life. We analyze available ratios of first cost to operating costs, so that our customers can tailor those two different types of expenditures to their company’s financial objectives. In summary what we do is to supply ENGINEERED SYSTEMS designed to solve customer problems.

Gerber is a proud member of the U.S Green Building Council, and an active partner with the U.S. EPA’s successful WaterSense program. OUR HERITAGE In 1932, Polish immigrant Max Gerber established a plumbing fixture company dedicated to quality, style, performance and durability that has earned the respect of homeowners, plumbing contractors, builders and designers ever since. The Gerber family successfully grew the company for 75 years and through three generations of leadership that all placed high value on family, employees and customer relationships. An example of the family’s commitment to its employees is during World War II when the demand for products was very low, management extended generous credit to customers whose businesses were struggling. They also retooled the factories to produce porcelain figurines and other household items to keep the factory operating through the tough times. That loyalty was rewarded with strong growth and prosperity for the next several decades. All products were made in three vitreous china potteries in Indiana, Alabama and New Jersey and one brass foundry and assembly operation in Indiana. Globe Union Group Inc acquired the company in 2003, and with access to 10,000 associates and 5 million sq ft of vertically integrated state-of-the-art manufacturing, Gerber has revitalized its product development and refocused its strategy on exceeding customers expectations. And through it all, the foundations of Gerber remain - top performing products sold only through professional distribution.

Williams, the company began its existence as Fusion Engineering Company. Its first products were paste solder alloys-carefully blended formulations of atomized filler metal, solder flux, and special paste binders. Although solder was not a new idea, its availability in paste form was - adding a new dimension to the metals joining industry. The product line was soon expanded to include paste alloys for brazing as well. In the early 1950s, Fusion scored another industry "first", introducing the automatic paste applicator as a precise method of dispensing solder and brazing alloys onto components being joined. The appeal of Fusion products increased substantially with this step toward a complete assembly "system". This trend continued in 1959 as Fusions Machine Division was born, making possible the design and manufacture of custom machines which automatically move fixtured parts through precise paste alloy application, heating and cooling operations. Fusion machines were installed in plants throughout the United States, primarily in the thriving automotive industry. Eventually, productive brazing and soldering spread to many other metalworking sectors. A subsidiary plant in England was established to support overseas activity. A network of agents is now in place, bringing the Fusion Process to plants throughout the world. Today, Fusion is the leader in brazing and soldering automation. Several hundred paste varieties are manufactured at our Willoughby, Ohio headquarters outside Cleveland. Feasibility testing of new applications also takes place here, supported by our Technical Services Group, which provides input on the chemical and metallurgical aspects of parts joining. These pastes, along with Fusion applicators, equipment, and design expertise, allow our customers to place "Total Responsibility" for their brazing and soldering needs with one reliable source.
