IES is a distributor and manufacturer’s representative for many leading companies in this market. These capabilities include seals, vacuum fittings and chambers, plasma power sources, analytical and metrology equipment, plasma generation systems, vacuum and cryogenic pumps, thermal regulatory components, and mass flow gauges and controls.

IES represents companies such as: DuPont Kalrez, Ancorp, Bruker Nano, Kashiyama, Advanced Energy, Applied Thermal Control, Teledyne-Hastings, Gencoa, CCR Technology, PVA Tepla, HVA, Trillium, Telemark, Hidden Analytical, and Watlow.

This strategic acquisition will give customers - from both GFS and IES – the ability to explore new product lines while simultaneously allowing greater access to existing products & partners. It will also open a custom engineering channel to the customers of IES; they will now be able to utilize Gallagher’s Engineering Department for tailored solutions to their most difficult and challenging applications.

“IES Technical Sales brings very exciting new capabilities to the Gallagher organization. Its strong customer and supplier relationships are consistent with Gallagher’s mission to supply high quality technical products to both OEMs and End Users. We look forward to growing the IES brand throughout New England and New York. The sales and support team at IES is excited to move forward as a division of Gallagher Fluid Seals. I wish to thank IES' customers and suppliers for their continued support during this transition.” – Chris Gallagher, CEO Gallagher Fluid Seals.

This is an exciting start to Gallagher's 66th year in business. Thank you for being part of the GFS family. We look forward to working with you in 2022 and beyond.
