Crisafulli manufactures reliable products.
A 40 year tradition. Reliable is rooted in the Crisafulli philosophy going back to the Company’s beginning 40 years ago when three Crisafulli brothers started the business as Crisafulli Pump Company to build pumps to irrigate their own farms and ranches along the Yellowstone River in Eastern Montana. Naturally, building pumps for themselves, reliable was a first priority. Today, that attitude is imbued in Company personnel in all parts of the business. Building reliable products is second nature for the Crisafulli staff.
Practical backgrounds. Many Company engineering and manufacturing personnel grew up on the farms and ranches of Montana and Wyoming where working outdoors with heavy machinery is a way of life. These men and women had to depend on their machinery in the field for their personal safety and to enable them to get their day’s work done before sunset.
Long-service staff. Low turnover and many long-service employees help sustain the Company’s emphasis on building reliable products. In the Shop, 70% of the staff has more than ten years of service, including the Shop Foreman with twenty years of service. Our Sales Manager – Glendive has twenty-two years of service.
Graduate engineers on staff. The Company employs graduate engineers in sales, engineering, and manufacturing. These men are trained to design, build, and sell reliable products.
Established product line. Many of the Company’s products have been active in the product line for years. The Company refines and improves these products continuously, seeking always to provide customers with “best value.” Reliability is a big part of the value equation at Crisafulli.
Established supply chain. Crisafulli has well established supply lines with vendors thoroughly familiar with our requirements.
Established procedures. For years, we have had carefully crafted procedures in place aimed at building products to plans and specifications drawn by professional engineers.
Strong financial position. A strong financial position enables Crisafulli to operate in a stable atmosphere with an absence of crisis. We can and do focus on quality and attention to detail.
Modest warranty costs. The Company’s modest annual warranty cost is evidence of the success of Crisafulli’s focus on building reliable products.
