CONNELLY-GPM, INC. manufactures the following products: METALLIC and NON-METALLIC BUILDING PRODUCTS for the industrial construction industry on a private-label basis only: IRON SPONGE for the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from gases; CHEMICAL IRON for reduction purposes for the chemical industry, and IRON AGGREGATE for groundwater remediation.
The CHEMICAL IRON products and IRON AGGREGATE for groundwater remediation are the result of many years of research and development by our own Technical Department in conjunction with many governmental and private enterprises. Current environmental concerns have opened new and exciting uses for our IRON AGGREGATE. We have the capabilities to custom-grind IRON AGGREGATE to any specification for both the Chemical Iron and environmental markets.
In our many years of producing iron products (for Chemical Iron, Building Products, Environmental, or other uses) we have often found it necessary to sit down with our customers and design specific products to meet their needs. It is this experience, both in iron production and in the co-operative process itself which enables us to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of our customers. This flexibility is of particular value in the rapidly growing area of ground water remediation, which is marked by frequently changing and improving techniques and where each site provides unique design and implementation challenges.
The success of CONNELLY-GPM, INC. is based on the original policies of the founders of GAS PURIFYING MATERIALS COMPANY, INC. - Oliver H. Smith and Bernard D. Klein, and their successors, to offer to the Gas, Chemical, Building and Environmental industries the best products for the dollar, and to develop a relationship with our customers and suppliers which is based on respect and confidence. The logical thinking and extensive research and business acumen of the management and the efforts of its employees in the fields of research, manufacturing, purchasing, and sales have been devoted to realizing those goals.
Basically, our policy has been to concentrate on good solid products and pursue practical specialties which involve repeat business. Our customers are very dependent on the quality of our products and services, as we play a very vital part in their operations.
Research and Development is currently working on new products for the Gas Industry, Building Products Industry, as well as working on new applications of its present products to the Petrochemical and Environmental industries.
