gallagher lunch and learn

At Gallagher Fluid Seals, we strive to deliver sealing solutions where there was previously a failure - to be our customers' Seal Specialist.  Our position as an independent distributor allows us the freedom to be truly objective, analyzing the various options available from our suppliers, and providing the optimal sealing configuration for your application.

But with many different product lines at our fingertips, how do we know what seal, gasket, o-ring will work the best in your application? We position ourselves as The Seal Specialist, but it's not just a motto or a tagline, it's a culture here at Gallagher.

In 2016, our sales team attended over 1200 hours of training... that's more than 150 eight hour work days... that's over 30 five-day work weeks.  They trained with some of our key vendors such as Parker, DuPont, Garlock, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, GORE, Thermoseal, and Thordon, to gain a better understanding of their product lines.

CEO to CFO: “What happens if we don’t, and they stay?”

I’m sure everyone has heard the above statement is some fashion over the past few years.

Very few employees these days work for pay alone, and providing training and opportunity for advancement is paramount to your ability to recruit and/or retain the best employees.
