A History Of Innovation...
In 1946 Andrew Martin, the founder of Calmar, had a deceptively simple vision. He wanted to replace expensive and inefficient metal pumps with inexpensive, durable, consumer-friendly, all-plastic
models. Since that early inspiration, Calmar has maintained its position of
industry leadership, setting the standard for quality and innovation.
International Resources To Serve You Better
In 1998, Calmar joined with Saint-Gobain, one of the one-hundred largest
corporations in the world with 172,000 employees operating in 46 countries. The backing of this international leader in glass, high performance
materials and housing products has enabled us to expand our capacity and
spur innovations in our trigger, fine mist, dispenser and pharmaceutical
product lines.
Through our extensive network of manufacturing and assembly facilities,
field sales offices, international licensees and authorized distributors, SaintGobain Calmar has a global reach with a breadth of product offerings that
is unrivaled in the industry.

Thanks to all of the manufactures representatives participating it last months meeting, “Supplier’s Night”.
The participants set up great displays, product samplings and detailed literature on hundreds of items
needed in our industry. Thank you again for all who
participated.
Due to many SPE members’ social calendar being filled, your Board
of Directors has moved to cancel the December 3, 2005 Social Night
at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Perhaps this is an event
we can re-schedule in 2006.
Up Coming Events
The Miami Valley SPE is kicking-off the New Year’s meetings with a
tour of Calmar Inc. The tour is scheduled for the evening of January
12, 2006, at their Washington Court House location. I highly recommend attending the tour of this global company’s operation for
molding pump dispensers. Please see the MVSPE website and watch
for announcement cards in the mail regarding more information on
this upcoming event.
I look forward to seeing you in the New Year at Calmar.
Happy Holidays
Dennis Richmond
