WorldWide Drilling Resource

52 SEPTEMBER 2018 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Commitment and Vision Means Top-Quality Products Adapted from Information by Boshart Industries Boshart Industries’ vision and commitment to excellence has helped build a diversified product line which will meet and exceed expectations. They stock a broad range of quality products for the water well, plumbing, irrigation, water works, and industrial markets, selling to customers worldwide. The company is a member of many trade asso- ciations, including the American Supply Association (ASA), Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH), Canadian Water Systems Council (CWSC), Water Systems Council (WSC), and the National Ground Water Association (NGWA). Boshart takes pride in developing products to their own specifications. Using stringent quality control standards, the company manufactures products which are built to last. By investing in quality control equipment, drafting, 3-D printing, alloy analyzing, and leak / burst detection, they ensure customers receive top-quality products. The company is committed to providing the right product, at the right price, in a courteous and professional manner. In ad- dition to providing customers with a dedicated sales rep, Boshart has a user-friendly website which provides customers with a way to track orders, check stock, pricing, and even includes product technical information. Boshart Industries manufactures the following products under their “Seal Well Products” brand: • Cable Guards • Rubber Flexible Couplings • Poly, Nylon, & PVC Insert Fittings • Torque Arrestors • Plastic Foot & Check Valves • Sump Pump Check Valves • Swing Check Valve and Combination Ball / Swing Check Valves In 1955, Mel Boshart started the business doing pump installations and repairs out of his home in Crosshill, Ontario. The Boshart family is still greatly involved with the business as the company is currently run by an executive team led by Mel’s son Gary who joined in 1970. The company name was changed in 1992, from Mel Boshart and Son Ltd. to Boshart Industries. The business quickly outgrew locations in Crosshill and Wellesley before moving manufacturing operations to its current location in Milverton, Canada. In 2006, a 3-D printer was purchased for the research & development department. This gives the company the ability to produce prototypes of new products for testing purposes, allowing improvements to be made before production occurs. Another key moment for Boshart was the acquisition of Flomatic in 2012, which has strengthened both companies through their shared vision. From its roots as a home business, Boshart has grown to include a head office with over 120,000 square feet, as well as having two U.S. locations and more than 140 employees. Looking to the future, Boshart has confidence their experience and commitment to excellence will give them an advantage in meeting the ever-changing demands of the markets they serve. WTR
