Company News

Last week we announced in our newsletter that we would be including free Sterlitech water bottles or coffee mugs in with online orders until Feb. 15th or while supplies last, and sadly for some we’ve reached the end of our supply today. Don’t fret if you missed out this time around, chances are good that we’ll be doing some more giveaways this year. Be on the lookout for upcoming promotions in our newsletter and online so you don’t miss out on the next one. In the meantime, stay thirsty my friends!

Got an idea about what our next promo item should be? Shirts? Golf balls? Let us know in the comments and we’ll try to make it happen.

Our apologies if you were affected by our sudden office closure yesterday due to a snowstorm here in Seattle. We’re back in business today and road conditions are improving, so we don’t expect to have any other forced holidays in the near future.

While there are many things Seattleites do well (software design, passive-aggressiveness), getting around in the snow is decidedly not one of them, as you can see in this YouTube video. Although in our meager defense, very little of the Seattle area sits on flat land and we do have the best soccer fanbase in the country. But until we can master the art of not braking through an ice patch, I get the feeling we will continue to be the object of ridicule from the Midwest, Northeast, and everywhere else that gets below-freezing temperatures from time to time.

Stay warm out there, wherever you are!

We’re sorry to say that we have just been informed that one of our ultrafiltration (UF) range flat sheet membrane designations, SelRO MPF-U20-S, has been discontinued. This means that we will no longer be able to offer our catalog numbers YMMPFU20S1818, YMMPFU20S195, YMMPFU20S475, or YMMPFU20S425. The SelRO MPF-U20-S designation was made from a proprietary Koch Membrane Systems polymer and used for a variety of research and industrial applications.

While this particular designation will be missed, we still have several other UF designations for sale that can meet your separation needs. To determine which designation is best for you, check out the Sterlitech UF specifications table.

Also, we have a very limited stock of these items still available so get in touch with us immediately if you are interested in your last chance to secure this membrane!

This morning we officially launched a new website specifically for Glass Fiber Filters and accessories at www.glassfiberstore.com! Here you will find full lines of glass fiber products from Sterlitech, Advantec MFS, and Munktell, as well as brand comparison tables, FAQs, and product specs to help your decision-making process.

We will still continue to offer glass fiber filters on the main Sterlitech site, but since there are so many different items that fall into the glass fiber category we wanted to create a specific area to showcase them that would be easier to navigate for people looking exclusively for these items. Building the new site has also allowed us to include specialty products that you won’t find on the Sterlitech website, like grades of filter paper for breweries, wineries, seed testing, soil analysis, and sugar laboratories.

Because Glass Fiber Store is part of the Sterlitech network you can use your existing Sterlitech account credentials to place orders on both sites. We’re also bringing the same flexible options and dedicated customer support to Glass Fiber Store that has made Sterlitech successful. Take a look around for yourself and then let us know what you think in the comments!

We got some local recognition this week when Puget Sound Business Journal named Sterlitech Corporation as one of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the state of Washington! This announcement comes after being honored last month by Inc. Magazine as one of their 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. You can tell by the boyish smile on Mark’s face that we’re quite giddy about these achievements.

Of course none of this is possible without our awesome customers, so thanks to all of you for your support over the years!

If you happen to subscribe to the Business Journal, the entire list will be published today in a special issue. You can see our full announcement here.

Sterlitech just made the Inc. Magazine list of America’s fastest-growing private companies! A big thank you to all of our customers for continuing to support us and making our growth possible! We’re very lucky to be serving the top companies and institutions in expanding fields like R&D, environmental science, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, especially in these economic times.

Of course, we’re not done growing either…Expect more announcements in the future about new product lines as well as more customizable options for bench systems.

Drop us a comment to let us know what else you’d like to see from Sterlitech so we can make the list next year too! You can look over the complete list of Inc. Magazine’s 5000 fastest-growing companies here.
