Company Information
Gast Manufacturing, Inc. designs and manufactures
quality air-moving products - vacuum pumps, compressors, air motors,
gear motors, vacuum generators, regenerative blowers and Smart Air
technology - to meet the many challenging applications of OEMs and
end-users worldwide. But much of our success can be attributed to
the foresight of our founders, the dedication of several generations
of employees, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.
Whether it's an industrial manufacturing, health
care lab, or environmental cleanup application, Gast can create
custom, cost-effective solutions to any pneumatic problem.
Unparalleled Design Expertise
While Gast has an extensive line of ready-to-ship products, we also
realize your air-handling problems are sometimes so unique they
require customized solutions. If so, our engineering experts in
product and process technologies are available to analyze your situation
and propose customized, cost-effective design solutions that work.
A Lasting Commitment to Quality
One of the reasons for our success is the investment we make in
our people, and our quality processes. Our meticulous quality processes
were a critical factor in achieving ISO 9001 certification, the
most stringent of the three ISO quality standards. This international
badge of world-class excellence means that we are a member of an
elite group made up of fewer than 5% of the manufacturing companies
in the world receiving that certification. Gast also achieved ISO
14001 certification, which reflects our commitment to environmentally
friendly business practices.
European Community Directives
Given our international presence, Gast is committed to conforming
with European Community Directives. These directives contain essential
requirements concerning health, safety, environment and consumer
protection for all products targeted to the European Community market.
Currently, all Gast products available for sale in the European
Community are in compliance with the Machinery, Low Voltage and
Electromagnetic Compatibility directives.
IDEX and Gast Team Up
On January 21, 1998, Gast was acquired by IDEX Corporation as part
of their Pump Products Group. IDEX, an acronym for innovation, diversity
and excellence, manufactures proprietary pump products, dispensing
equipment and other engineered products for a variety of global
markets.
