John Crane Repair Center Finds New Home at Crane Engineering

Kimberly, WI, November 4, 2013: Crane Engineering, a major distributor of pumps, valves, and fluid process equipment, has opened office and warehouse space for global mechanical seal manufacturer John Crane’s repair center. The move comes after the announcement from John Crane’s corporate headquarters that they would close the Green Bay repair center.

“Bringing in the John Crane Repair Facility means we will turn seal repairs faster and have inventory on hand for customers who need seals right away. We expect service to our customers to improve due to this move,” said Lance Crane, President of Crane Engineering.

The newly relocated John Crane Repair Facility will be open for business November 4.
