About Glaco's Team
In business, It all comes down to one aspect: Reliability. In an industrial plant, every minute counts. Time offline is money down the drain.
For dependability in start-up and continued production, one has to be able to count on someone with the resources, capabilities, expertise, and commitment to service – no matter what problems or issues may arise. A strong consistency in efficiency and being steadfast in quality solutions should be the keystone of a supplier . With over 100 years of combined experience in the industry, and with a wide breadth of knowledge in a variety of industrial processes, Glaco can facilitate what you come to expect in a business partner and supplier. Confidently ensuring your plant gets the right results that meet your bottom line. Our stocking locations throughout the Midwest and Mid-South make for sound and expedient logistical flow.
Our intensive expertise includes Chemical, Petro-Chemical, Biofuels/Ethanol, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical, Food/Beverage, Pulp/Paper, and Refining. From Turn-Key Solutions for Instrumentation and Automation to Steam Services including Energy / Condensate design, reduction of Total Cost of Ownership is Priority One.
Our determination and results are why so many companies depend upon Glaco for all of their process-related needs. Founded in 1973 as a small valve sales and service company, we have grown to become one of the most successful, customer-oriented full service process controls/automation/service companies in the Midwest and Mid-South, with six locations utilizing the very latest automation techniques. Glaco is also one of the last privately-owned companies of its kind in America, and we like it that way.
While Valves and Automation are certainly the company’s hallmark and the foundation upon which our excellent reputation was built, our capabilities go beyond the entire spectrum of valve and process related services. Control Valve Specification, Control Valve Repair, Relief Valve Repair, Process Steam Service Consulting, and Pump Repair are services-bound together by a common goal: to make sure our customers' needs are met and their expectations are exceeded. This philosophy and belief is the cornerstone of Glaco.
It is this comprehensive range of services which sets us apart from our competitors. With a more knowledgeable based sales team and process-driven administrative support, we offer the advantage of truly being a "one-stop-shop" for all your industrial process needs.
One Company/One Call. That means one solution to all of your valve, instrumentation and process needs. The End Result: your plant up and running as quickly and economically as possible.
