Our history
With a $500 loan Fred A. Lennon founded Swagelok in summer 1947. Lennon's initual vision of a values-based culture and continued investment in workforce and infrastructure is still successful. His idea of an innovative sales and service model was groundbreaking for the industry and since then all Swagelok customers can count on the consistently high quality of all products, services and solutions - worldwide.
Customer orientation: Creating value for the customer
Swagelok and its more than 200 authorized sales and service centers in 70 countries work together to bring combined expertise and expertise to help all our customers achieve their goals for safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and growth. In Austria, as a trading company AA-Solutions Gmbh, we have been the sole authorized sales and service partner of Swagelok since 2016.
Customer focus has been one of the core values that has been the driving force behind every decision we make and the action we take since its inception. The others are:
Integrity
Integrity is at the heart of Swagelok. Our founder Fred Lennon set the standard, and today’s associates continue to be inspired to do the right thing. We understand that each of our decisions impacts more than just our organization. Operating with a holistic, long-term view, Swagelok has the freedom to invest in our business in ways that benefit our customers, our communities, and each other — regardless of the economic climate.
Quality: Provide High Value and High Performance in Our Products, Processes, and Services
Quality is built into our products, in every step: raw material requirements and proprietary precision tooling, we ensure and protect the most critical product features. Throughout the organization, our passion for excellence has created a culture of quality that extends to authorized Swagelok sales and service centers.
Systematically and Consistently improvement
Our passion for continuous improvement inspires flexibility. We are always open to new ways of performing more efficiently and developing better solutions for customers. Over the years, even our flagship product, the tube fitting, has benefited from ongoing improvements, including changes to ferrule geometry and metallurgy. As application requirements have changed, we have adjusted our products to meet these demands and we will continue to do so for the next 75 years.
Respect: Commit to the Success of Each Associate Through an Environment Where People Are Trusted, Respected, and Treated Fairly
Our founder created a culture of respect where associates feel pride. Our people-focused culture is evident in benefits for all associates, an open-door policy or focus on safety. We are committed to nurturing an environment where all associates feel welcome, supported, and valued.
Innovation: Challenge Conventional Wisdom to Create New Value for the Customer
Swagelok first brought a leak-tight, two-ferrule tube fitting to the market. That define the fluid system industry. Also our unique business model was a game-changer: we generated a global network of more than 200 authorized sales and service centers in 70 countries, focused solely on Swagelok's product line. This provides best support for our customers with local inventory and expertise. Swagelok holds more than 200 active patents, and as the pace of change continues to accelerate, we are collaborating with customers to bring new products and services to the marketplace.
Statement of Our Founder“Make the best product possible to help customers succeed, and keep making it better.”
