John Crane, a global leader in rotating equipment solutions,
today released an interactive digital timeline and
documentary-style video to commemorate the company’s 100-year
anniversary. The year-long celebration that began in March 2017,
and concluded this month, included employee-driven events at the
company’s 200 global sites.
Using a combination of historic and modern day photos, graphics,
and anecdotes, the digital timeline chronicles the company’s story
that began in 1917 with packing and gasketing products patented by
engineer and co-founder John Crane.
“John Crane has seen tremendous growth over the past 100 years,”
said John Crane CEO and Division President Jean Vernet. “In honor
of our centennial celebration, our employees participated in
activities that gave them the opportunity to look back at the
achievements that brought us to where we are today. When I think
about our history, it’s clear that our people are the reason for
our century of success. As we think ahead to our future, we remain
focused on developing innovative solutions that solve some of our
customers’ greatest challenges and embracing disruptive
technologies that have the potential to transform our
industry.”
The documentary-style video features employees talking about the
company’s heritage that creates a culture of pride and promotes
teamwork, and the entrepreneurial spirit that fosters
customer-focused innovation and technology. In addition, former
long-time employee and CEO Harry Tankus, and current CEO Jean
Vernet share insights about John Crane’s culture, history, key
milestones and achievements that separate the company from its
competitors.
Over the years the company has developed dozens of revolutionary
products and processes, including the first automotive mechanical
seal; the end-face, elastomer bellows shaft seal; seals for
high-pressure and corrosive applications; and non-contacting
technology for pumps handling environmentally hazardous liquids. By
pioneering the development of gas seals in the late 1960s and into
the 1970s, John Crane revolutionized the performance of modern day
centrifugal compressors.
Today the company is the market leader in mechanical seals for
pumps and compressors, and a trusted source for optimizing the
reliable and continuous performance of mission-critical rotating
equipment across all process industries.
