A.W. CHESTERTON, un jeune homme dot\u00e9 d’une vision claire et d’un sens aigu des affaires, a fond\u00e9 Chesterton & Company en 1884 sur le front de mer de Boston. <\/p>\n\n
En tant que fournisseur de mat\u00e9riel pour l’industrie navale et de machines, A.W. Chesterton a rapidement identifi\u00e9 les possibilit\u00e9s d’\u00e9largir son offre et de proposer une plus large gamme de produits. Cela a permis aux clients d’obtenir rapidement et facilement les mat\u00e9riaux auxiliaires et d’exploitation dont ils avaient besoin. Cette attention particuli\u00e8re \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 des produits et \u00e0 l’assistance \u00e0 la client\u00e8le a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 l’objectif principal de A.W. Chesterton & Company. <\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n

Les premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de Chesterton ont \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9es sous le signe de la croissance. En 1905, l’entreprise acquiert la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Ingall’s Boiler Cleaners and Wipers\u00a0\u00bb et, en m\u00eame temps, un r\u00e9seau de vente national, ce qui fait de Chesterton un distributeur national. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1920, les capacit\u00e9s de production de Chesterton avaient progress\u00e9 au point qu’elle \u00e9tait en mesure d’offrir \u00e0 ses clients sa propre marque de joints m\u00e9caniques de haute qualit\u00e9 (joints glaciaires). Chesterton survit \u00e0 la Grande D\u00e9pression et l’entreprise passe \u00e0 la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration suivante. Dev et Tom Chesterton s’attachent \u00e0 aider leurs clients \u00e0 gagner du temps et de l’argent et \u00e0 g\u00e9rer leurs activit\u00e9s de mani\u00e8re plus efficace – un objectif que l’entreprise a conserv\u00e9 jusqu’\u00e0 aujourd’hui. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1940, Chesterton a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 commercialiser ses produits au Canada, en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, \u00e0 Terre-Neuve et au Mexique. Au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1950, Chesterton \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 devenu un d\u00e9taillant sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 actif \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle mondiale, avec une pr\u00e9sence commerciale dans le monde entier. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1970 : croissance substantielle<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n
Les ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1970 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9es par une forte croissance. En d\u00e9veloppant des lubrifiants sp\u00e9ciaux, des nettoyants et des produits d’\u00e9tanch\u00e9it\u00e9 pour filets, l’entreprise \u00e9largit sa gamme de produits, notamment pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la demande en constante \u00e9volution des ateliers d’entretien. <\/p>\n\n
Plus tard, la direction de l’entreprise a \u00e9t\u00e9 confi\u00e9e \u00e0 Dick McDermott. Sous la direction de Dick, l’entreprise a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 le r\u00f4le du sp\u00e9cialiste Chesterton, un expert dans la s\u00e9lection, la distribution et l’utilisation des produits Chesterton. L’assistance \u00e0 la client\u00e8le a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9largie pour inclure des s\u00e9minaires et des formations. Les sp\u00e9cialistes Chesterton et les cours de formation continuent de soutenir les clients \u00e0 ce jour. <\/p>\n\n
Au cours de cette p\u00e9riode, Chesterton a attir\u00e9 l’attention de l’industrie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de nombreux produits novateurs. Parmi ces produits prim\u00e9s, citons : La garniture Super Graphite, les garnitures m\u00e9caniques 770 et 880, et les garnitures m\u00e9caniques doubles mont\u00e9es sur cartouche 241 pr\u00eates \u00e0 l’emploi. En outre, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 la garniture hydraulique SuperCup\u00ae et l’auto-alignement pour les garnitures m\u00e9caniques (garnitures m\u00e9caniques). <\/p>\n\n
De 1980 \u00e0 1990 : Des d\u00e9cennies d’innovation<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n
Au cours des ann\u00e9es 80 et 90, Chesterton a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper de nouveaux produits. Les joints fendus innovants ont contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 faire des joints m\u00e9caniques la ligne de produits la plus vendue de l’entreprise. Chesterton a \u00e9galement introduit la pompe prim\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0System One Pump\u00a0\u00bb, cr\u00e9ant une norme industrielle pour une fiabilit\u00e9 maximale. <\/p>\n\n
En 1989, Dick McDermott se retire de la vie professionnelle et Jim Chesterton, petit-fils d’A.W. Chesterton, devient pr\u00e9sident. Jim se concentre sur le d\u00e9veloppement des ventes et l’am\u00e9lioration des capacit\u00e9s op\u00e9rationnelles. En 1992, Chesterton est le premier fabricant de joints \u00e0 obtenir la certification ISO 9001 pour l’assurance qualit\u00e9 et, en 1996, le premier de son secteur \u00e0 obtenir la certification ISO 14001 pour ses activit\u00e9s en Irlande. <\/p>\n\n
Le climat \u00e9conomique des ann\u00e9es 90 a contraint Chesterton \u00e0 rationaliser ses activit\u00e9s. L’entreprise a vendu l’activit\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0System One Pump\u00a0\u00bb et a ferm\u00e9 plusieurs installations de production. \u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, l’entreprise a \u00e9galement commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper la ligne de produits ARC (Advanced Reinforced Composite). <\/p>\n\n
2000 : Une entreprise d’un nouveau si\u00e8cle – depuis plus de 140 ans<\/h2>\n\n
En 2002, l’entreprise a \u00e9t\u00e9 confi\u00e9e \u00e0 Dick Hoyle. Sous la direction de Dick, Chesterton s’est restructur\u00e9e dans les cinq principaux domaines d’activit\u00e9 qu’elle exploite encore aujourd’hui, \u00e0 savoir : ARC, garnitures m\u00e9caniques, joints hydrauliques, joints m\u00e9caniques et produits techniques : ARC, Garnitures m\u00e9caniques, Joints hydrauliques, Joints m\u00e9caniques et Produits techniques. <\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n
En 2009, Brian o’Donnell est devenu le septi\u00e8me pr\u00e9sident de Chesterton. Chesterton s’engage toujours \u00e0 offrir des produits innovants, associ\u00e9s au service et aux connaissances exig\u00e9s par les clients. L’entreprise s’oriente de plus en plus vers la performance, mais reste attach\u00e9e \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 de ses produits. \u00c0 l’aube de son deuxi\u00e8me si\u00e8cle d’existence, Chesterton se r\u00e9v\u00e8le \u00eatre l’entreprise que son fondateur avait imagin\u00e9e. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
