2017 First Quarter -...
Transcript of 2017 First Quarter -...
We are kicking off 2017 with the release of our new rebranding initiative which includes a new website, company logo, and marketing materials, including brochures, tech books, and business cards.
Our new website was designed with customers’ needs in mind. You can easily navigate through it to review all of our product lines, fi nd a distributor in your area, download product brochures and tech books, or contact us with technical questions. The website is also smartphone and tablet friendly, for easy access on the jobsite or on the road.
You will also see changes to our look, including an updated logo design, color schemes and tag line. We have been in business for 80 years, and our name and logo are recognized throughout the pump industry. It was very important for us to retain this brand recognition we gained
over our history. Our new logo design and color scheme give us a more modern look while keeping the impeller element from our old logo.
“Built for purpose” became one of the early favorites for a tag line. Many of our employees could relate the tag line to the everyday business of Carver Pump: we specialize in solving our customers’ biggest pumping challenges. Since each Carver pump is designed with a specifi c job in mind, “Built for purpose” was the perfect tag line to move forward with.
Please check out our new website and see all it has to offer.

PRODUCT SPOT LIGHTOur 855 Series was originally developed in the 1950s at
the request of a large OEM of vacuum fi ltration systems. Mounting the fl ange directly to the receiver tank eliminates suction piping and minimizes NPSH problems. The design allows pumping to resume even after short periods of interrupted fl ow. This project and innovative design led to the 855 Series dominating the fi ltrate pump market. These pumps can now be found in power generation, pulp and paper, and mineral and mining applications.
• Handles up to 26” Hg Vacuum

In December 2016 Randy Siler offi cially retired from Carver Pump. Randy had been with us since 1994 as a regional manager, later becoming the industrial sales and marketing manager. Along with his many sales and marketing duties, Randy continued on as our Midwest sales territory manager, helping develop and maintain many strong relationships with our distributors and customers. Over the last 20 years he played an essential role in growing our industrial product line. We all would like to thank Randy for the years he spent working with us, and wish him and his family the best in his retirement.
As mentioned, Randy wore many hats during his tenure at Carver Pump. His duties have been split up among current team members: Andrew Carver will oversee the outside industrial sales team; Rohan Joseph will take on the duties of applications engineering manager; Derek King is now the Central territory manager; and Jeff Brooke will assist with marketing.

GETTING INVOLVED AND GIVING BACK
Our employees volunteered their time during the holiday season to help collect donations for the Salvation Army. Employees were stationed at multiple locations throughout the community to ring the bell and raise money for this charitable organization.
We also sponsored three area seniors through Senior Resources, helping them fill their wish lists for the holiday.
