AURORA, Ohio - Monday, February 9th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) - The Process Systems Business Unit of Saint-Gobain Performance
Plastics announces it has consolidated its brand portfolio to
strategically align its product offerings and to better serve the
challenging needs of a growing global customer base.
As the
business unit has evolved from many successful small, regional
businesses into a single, global business, the new branding initiative
helps to unite its world-class product offerings to better align the
Process Systems’ business with the evolving needs of its global
customers.
“Our new brand portfolio enables us to clearly
communicate the value and brand promise we provide to our customers,
which includes providing peace of mind and building trust with them,”
said Raymond Pace, worldwide marketing director of the Process Systems
Business Unit.
The business unit’s new brand portfolio introduces
two new brands, Versilon and Covison, and maintains two flagship
brands, Tygon and Furon, whose value the organization will reinforce.
Versilon products include premium-quality tubing, hoses and fittings
fulfilling a range of demanding certification, performance and safety
standards.
Covison products include custom-designed, manufactured
seals that perform at critical connection points in demanding
applications.
Tygon products include precision-designed tubing
for peak performance and regulatory compliance, across a range of
specialized fluid transfer applications.
Furon products include
premium pumps, valves, fittings and manifolds for the precise and secure
flow control of high-purity fluids for demanding, specialized
applications.
“Both the new and existing brands will assure all
our global customers of world-class service, technical support and
customization flexibility across a range of products and polymer
technologies—all backed by Saint-Gobain’s brand promise,” Pace said.
As
a result of the rebranding, customers will see new logos, tag lines,
and in some cases, product brand names. However, Saint-Gobain is not
changing any product specifications nor altering specification-related
materials as a result of the rebranding. This initiative will not affect
the company’s part numbers by which customers order products. Only
products’ logos, markings and descriptions may change.
The brand consolidation will begin in the coming months, and completion of the brand transition may take more than a year.
“We
strongly believe the investment in this initiative will help us deliver
brand promises even better to ultimately strengthen relationships with
our customers,” Pace said.
