"How's business?" It's a question that is asked and answered with friends and colleagues everyday. From my viewpoint at El, the answer is positive. As the world gets smaller due to leaps in technology and communication, quality products and responsible processes are more visible. We have found ourselves in a niche industry that is being refined, rediscovered and applied with new energy. But it hasn't always been so easy for me. I ran my new business from my dining table in the early 1970's. My first significant client was Wheelabrator. Initially I supplied their Air Pollution Control Division with controls for bag house and electrostatic precipitator dust collectors. It was 1978 before I was able to move into a small building and hire engineers and a production staff. At that point, I was building flow rate controls for Wheelabrator's 16-wheel peen forming machine for Boeing. That's how I discovered a unique and fascinating niche in the industry and the MagnaValve was born.
