Sharpe Mixers and Hayward Gordon - A New Team!

Sharpe Mixers is very pleased to announce we are joining forces with Hayward Gordon. Based in Seattle, Washington, Sharpe Mixers has served customers for the past 60 years providing advanced mixing solutions in many industries including pulp & paper, chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical and sanitary markets. Hayward Gordon, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, manufactures mixers, pumps, and engineered systems for fluid handling applications in a range of industries including mining, water and wastewater, petroleum, mineral processing and many others.

Hayward Gordon intends to make a significant investment in plant, equipment and people in Sharpe's Seattle factory to better serve customers in the global market. Jay Dinnison, President of Sharpe Mixers, commented on the transaction, "We are proud of our achievements at Sharpe Mixers, and are excited about the future growth opportunities that this partnership brings to our organization. I see this as a positive for all parties involved."

John Hayward, EVP of Hayward Gordon commented on the acquisition of Sharpe, "The fit between the two businesses is well aligned from both a product and market standpoint. Sharpe brings strength in small to medium-sized mixers and in chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical, and sanitary markets whereas Hayward Gordon has been strong in medium to large mixers in mineral processing, oil & gas, and water/wastewater treatment. 
 
Bill Dubé, CEO of Hayward Gordon, commented on the transaction, "We are delighted with the excellent synergies for the combined entity. The product fit between Hayward Gordon and Sharpe is complementary and we now offer a broader range of mixers from 1/3 HP to 500 HP. In addition, our combined sales channels will allow us to better serve our markets and support customer's needs."

A controlling interest in Hayward Gordon was previously acquired by Element Partners and it serves as a platform for acquisitions of pump and mixer manufacturers focused on abrasive, harsh duty, or other engineered fluid handling applications.

Sharpe Mixers staff 2011

 We at Sharpe Mixers would like to shout out a Happy Holidays wish to all!  We hope the holidays find you well and that you get to spend them with family and loved ones.

Sharpe Mixers recently celebrated our success in 2011 at our annual Christmas Party, and we realized just how much we had to celebrate!

2011 was a very successful year for Sharpe Mixers.  We expanded into many new markets, both domestic and international.  This has created many new business opportunities in some exciting new industries.  China continues to be a strong market for us, as does Europe and South America.

Jay Dinnison - President/CEO

2011 also saw us introduce several new products to our mixer and mixer accessory line, including our M5 Quick Clamp, remote tachometer displays, all-stainless shaft bearings for our all-stainless portable mixer drives, and much more!

We also went live with our NEW online web store! Now you can purchase parts for your portable mixers online any time, day or night! You can visit our web store at www.sharpemixersstore.com/. We will be expanding on our store offerings in the coming year, so check back!

At Sharpe Mixers, we are always searching for better ways to serve you, our customer. 2011 saw many changes implemented to improve mixer and parts deliveries. This includes expansion of our stocked inventory items, as well the pre-manufacture of such components as impellers and mixer shafts. This allows improved ship time to you!

There were many behind the scenes improvements as well, such as the expansion of our new ERP system which puts more information at our fingertips, enabling us to provide you with faster answers.

Steve Drury - Vice President,
Director of Applications

Sharpe Mixers has always taken a great interest in family.  In fact, Sharpe Mixers really is one big family, with employees supporting and encouraging one another and taking interest in each others personal interests, activities and achievements away from work.  2011 gave us much to smile about!

We at Sharpe Mixers look forward to a successful 2012.  We have many lofty goals and ideas for the new year and are excited to get moving on them (many, we already have)!

We wish the best for you in 2012 as well, and look forward to continuing to offer you solutions for your mixing needs.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Sharpe Mixers!
