Is Your Operation Ready for Peak Season?

By Globe Composite | October 18, 2018

The holidays have always been a busy time for companies, but with eCommerce continuing to set new yearly records, the bar is even higher for fulfillment and distribution centers.

Product Showcase: Globe Impellers & Self-Lubricating Materials

By Globe Composite | June 4, 2015

 

What Does Self-Lubricating Mean?

Self-lubrication by definition means that the lubricating agent must be an integral element of the original material.  The lubricating agent can't be a material added on or attached to the original material.  It can't break down and must be a part of the original material for the part's life's expectancy. One of our most popular self-lubricating products is the our Globe impeller, or the Run-Dry® Impeller
