Power Transmission
Lufkin Industries has specialized in the design and manufacture of enclosed gear drives for industrial applications since 1939. Its reputation as a manufacturer of highly reliable equipment is complemented with a tradition of rapid, responsive customer service. As industrial requirements have driven the demand for gears capable of higher power levels, higher speeds, better efficiencies, longer life, and improved reliability, Lufkin has responded by developing the technologies, facilities, and organization required to design and manufacture the new generation of critical service, high performance gear units.
Lufkin's "high speed" products include turbo gears for power generation, process compressors, oil and gas transmission, and a wide array of pumping applications. The "low speed" product family includes custom and standard drives for such industries as steel and aluminum mills, rubber mills, plastics mixing and extrusion, sugar mills, marine propulsion, cement mills, and mining.
The separate Industrial Gear Repair facility is devoted solely to the aftermarket repair, rebuild, and overhaul needs of the end-user market. A staff of 17 field service technicians supports user needs on a worldwide basis.
A customer gets more than high-quality equipment when they select Lufkin Industries. They access the unique expertise and full support of an organization dedicated to total customer satisfaction.
Foundry
LUFKIN entered the Foundry Industry in 1902 with the inception of LUFKIN Foundry and Machine Company. The Company's focus during that time was servicing the repair needs of the railroads and sawmills. Over the years LUFKIN Industries, Inc. has invested significant resources in developing this Division into an industry leader. This is evidenced by our entry into the ductile iron segment during the 1940's as the industry began working with this new material.
LUFKIN's current market position is in the production of medium to large, low to medium volume ductile and gray iron castings. On a daily basis, we serve OEM's in various industries, including valves, machine tools, pump and compressors, as well as construction equipment and special machinery. LUFKIN continues to focus on developing long term relationships with our current and potential customer base.
We see an even brighter future for the Foundry Division and invite you to explore the possibilities of joining our family of satisfied casting Customers.
