Vertically Integrated Manufacture

Vulcan's three modern production factories exceed 21,000 square metres of total floor space. The factories were architecturally designed and built to create world-class facilities. We continue to heavily invest in our production processes, machinery, systems and people. This focus has naturally led to extra-ordinary annual rates of growth in our factories capacity and employment. Growth needed to meet the growth in our customers demands.

Quality Assurance

All Vulcan Mechanical and Encapsulated Seals are solely produced in our own modern factories. Our manufacturing facilities and distribution operations have both been audited and certified to BS EN ISO 9001:2000.
Vulcan have extremely extensive and intensive Quality, Inspection and Work Documentation Systems. In-depth, electronically integrated, process documents and assessment systems govern all aspects of manufacture, assembly, inspection and supply.

We do not buy seals nor components assemblies from anyone else. Every Vulcan component and seal is produced and processed via our Global Inspection System. This system incorporates all of the above controls culminating in CNC Co-ordinate Measuring Inspection Machine batch sampling verification, prior to despatch from our factories and then again, upon receipt at our World Wide Distribution Centre.

Thus a Vulcan Seal means Quality and Reliability Assured.

Electronic Investment

Vulcan are firmly focused on the future. Our philosophy is to heavily invest in IT, automation, technology and our people, in order to be the world leaders in "Standard" Mechanical Seals.

Our over-riding ethos is Quality and Efficiency, through electronic automation of our entire company processes and operations. Manufacturing is increasingly automated and supported by computer-controlled inspection machines and systems.

Vulcan create individual Web Portals, for each of our customers, to access a vast database of information on our company, products and all commercial or technical detail. This can also be utilised to initiate a complete electronic supply chain, of bar-coded product, moving through all of our processes, from electronic receipt of Portal Enquiry/Order to supply, from our ranks of eight computer integrated and controlled carousel stock machines.

Supply Philosophy

Our ethos is to do extraordinarily well, whatever the customer reasonably requires.
We have a can-do mentality, backed by truly exceptional customer service. Vulcan's commercial policy is to focus on our products, manufacture, stock holding and supply to the seal trade.

It is not our intention to be diverted into becoming an end-user sales organisation. Our strengths lie in our unrivalled product range, quality, service and prices. Vulcan will maintain its strong distributor and trade sales focus.

Our vision is to be The Electronic Seal Warehouse to the trade and to continue to provide increasing levels of service, product and information to our distributors or re-sellers in, already, over seventy countries. We enable companies, who wish to sell our products, to market the same, under our Vulcan or their own brand.
