West |
|
In 1882, an Englishman named Dr. Robert S. West came to America
with a coal tar-based disinfectant developed at Cambridge
University. Armed with a unique product that had never before
been sold in this country, along with determination and a
vision, Dr. West Founded the company that to this day bears his
name, and spawned an entire industry of safer cleaning and
lubricating products. Today, West Chemical Products, Inc. is an
industry leader in environmentally sound cleaning and
lubricating products, with company operations and licensees
throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. |
Today, after over 100 years, the West Family of Companies serves
industries with some of the world's toughest cleaning and
lubrication problems - industries as diverse as pulp and paper,
petrochemical, mining, supermarkets, aerospace and the military.
West companies manufacture an array of products that includes
sanitizers and disinfectants, industrial cleaners and
degreasers, carbon removers, lubricants, coolants, dust
suppressants and deicers. In fact, West products are used
practically everywhere, from airlines to zoos.
|
|
THAT'S
WHY SO
MANY COMPANIES
HAVE GONE
WEST.
|
|
West established itself early in its existence as an industry
leader and problem solver, developing one breakthrough product
after another. The company was first to develop "green"
cleaners, sterilizers and disinfectants. It quickly became a
leader in industrial cooling and cutting oils, and a key
producer of safer cleaner and lubricants for the mining
industry. |
As the West family has grown, it has never forgotten Dr. West's
commitment to the needs of our customers, their employees and an
ever-changing world. This commitment to customer service,
state-of-the-art technologies and environmental and worker
safety is why, over the years, so many companies have gone West.
The sections that follow tell the story of each member of the
West family. |

|
Penetone Corporation & West Penetone, Inc. |
|
In 1976, Penetone Corporation, a pioneering company in the
development of safer cleaning products for over 50 years, joined
the West family. Today, Penetone Corporation and its Canadian
counterpart,
West Penetone, Inc.,
lead the industry in providing environmentally-friendly, safer
cleaning technologies and programs to some of the most important
industries in North America, including petrochemical, pulp and
paper, printing, military/aerospace, supermarkets, food
processing, and more. |
The first to produce a no-flash-point, water-based, solvent
decarbonizer and degreaser, formulated to replace volatile and
dangerous solvents.
|
|
More recently, Penetone was the first to develop a line
of patented, biodegradable, non carcinogenic, natural
and renewable cleaners and degreasers based upon the
naturally occurring terpene d-limonene found in the rind
of citrus fruit. This patented technology, found in our
CITRIKLEEN family of products, is unmatched in the
marketplace today. |
|
|
WE
CLEAN INDUSTRY
WITHOUT CLEARING
OUT THE
ENVIRONMENT.
|
|
Since its founding in 1933, Penetone Corporation has a rich
history of innovation and industry milestones. The first to
produce synthetic industrial liquid hand soaps without harsh,
caustic ingredients. The leader in the formulation and
production of liquid steam cleaning concentrate. The first to
find a safer replacement for toxic carbon tetrachloride. |
And our just introduced PENETONE ET technology continues our
commitment to the continued development of safer, more
environmentally sound cleaning products.
|
|
Because protecting the environment isn't just good
business. Its good for us all. |
|
|
|
|
Petron Corporation |
 For
over 25 years, Petron
Corporation has provided the mining and metalworking
industries with innovative, top-quality leading-technology
specialty lubricants.
|
|
In fact, Petron has become an important cog in the
operations of some of the world's largest mining and
manufacturing companies. Petron's lubricants are used
by some of these companies under the harshest conditions
imaginable - on the largest mill gears in the world, in
taconite, gold, copper and numerous other mining
facilities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin
American, and Australia. |
|
The first to offer nonleaded materials to eliminate hazardous
waste. The first with chlorinated-solvent-free lubricant
formulations to help reduce ozone depletion. And the first
lubricant suppler to develop an approved process for reclaiming
spent open-gear lubricant.
|
|
As with all West companies, Petron's customers are its
number one priority. This commitment doesn't stop when
the sale is made - Petron has a comprehensive post-sale
service and support program that's unique in the
industry. Petron field technical service managers
regularly visit customer sites to analyze the
performance of Petron products and help |

Like the other members of the West family, Petron is committed
to industry leadership and protecting workers and the
environment. Petron is the leader in the development of
asphaltic and synthetically based lubricants for mining, power
plants, cement and allied industries. The leader in the design
and development of non-chlorinated synthetic and semi synthetic
cooling, cutting and drawing products for the industrial market. |
optimize their use, and quarterly technical reviews recommend
ways of improving the efficiency of our customers' operations.
|
|
Over the next 25 years, Petron will continue to address
the needs of its customers by exploring advanced
lubrication technologies. Because one of the best ways
to be known is by the companies you keep. |
