Polymar History
In 1979, ASM Industries Inc. was established by Alfred Stanley Marlow with the development of the pump we use today. Over the next three years, ASM Industries operated as one entity. Then, in 1982, Service Filtration Corporation owner Jack Berg purchased ASM Industries and divided the functions of the company into two separate sister organizations: Polymar and Pacer Pumps. This division opened the doors for both business units to become their own profit entity, thus promoting growth. It was at this point, Polymar moved from an entirely captive molding provider for the Pacer Pump to becoming a custom molder.
Early on, the pumps were molded from PBT polyester. Polymar worked closely with DuPont on the development of Rynite®, a PET polyester. The Pacer Pump was converted to this material. It was this expertise in drying and molding PET polyester resin that launched our business.
Today, Polymar services many markets, such as tier two automotive, medical, construction, electrical and fluid transfer, supplying customers with such diverse products as gears, cams, medical disposables, electronic enclosures, interconnection devices, coil bobbins, optical components, under-the-hood electrical motors, and pump housings.
SERVICE FILTRATION CORPORATION
Worldwide Pump and Filtration Industry Leader for Over 50 years
It has been said that the success of any business comes from finding a need and fulfilling it. In 1961, our founder, Jack Berg, achieved just that. While selling filters to platers as a manufacturers’ representative, he recognized the need in the surface finishing industry for better filtration processes to enhance plating quality, reduce chemical consumption, and minimize rejects. Armed with only his experience and his entrepreneurial spirit, he took a chance and opened a small storefront shop selling pumps, filter chambers and filter cartridges.
From those humble beginnings, Service Filtration Corporation has grown into a multi-national manufacturer offering a comprehensive range of products and systems that fulfil the needs of various industries worldwide. With facilities in North America as well as operations overseas, along with our global network of sales representatives, we are strategically positioned to develop and deliver the quality products our customers expect.
