ERIKS North America-owned companies Lewis-Goetz, EVCO House of Hose, and Valley Rubber & Gasket are rebranding as ERIKS, effective June 1.
Ben Mondics, president and CEO of ERIKS North America, said the three companies are rebranding as part of a strategic initiative to better serve existing and potential customers in an array of industries.
"Independently, Lewis-Goetz, EVCO House of Hose, and Valley Rubber & Gasket have been trusted as reliable sources for certain products, with rich histories in different areas of the country, totaling 59 locations," Mondics said. "Over the years, these various acquisitions have contributed to ERIKS North America's growth and reputation as a leading industrial service provider. Today marks a new day for our entire company as we combine our core strengths, expand our offerings and unite as ERIKS in North America."
The rebranding initiative reinforces ERIKS North America's commitment to providing a full range of industrial products and engineered solutions, while delivering unparalleled customer service to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) customers. From 140 locations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, ERIKS North America offers innovative and customizable solutions in a variety of product groups, including industrial and hydraulic hoses, flow control systems, seals and polymers, gaskets and conveying systems.
Although the name has changed, ERIKS offers the same products, services and knowledgeable people customers have come to expect, just now under a new international name. The company's core business principles, values and expectations of excellence remain the same. Its personnel will continue with business as usual and remain committed to providing the outstanding customer service for which they have come to be known.
