 Where it all began...

Address Delivered by R.T. Crane at the Fiftieth Anniversary Picnic - July 4, 1905

"No doubt you all realize that the event which we are here gathered to celebrate is no ordinary one. While this country has witnessed the growth of many large business enterprises, and their arrival at the fifty year mark may not be a particularly uncommon or noteworthy occurrence, I believe instances will rarely be found of a person establishing and building up a business organization of the magnitude of ours and still remaining a conspicuous figure in the business at the close of half a century." more>>

 Crane Environmentality™

 Earth

Water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. Fresh water makes up less than 2% of all water on Earth and is increasingly scarce. Crane Environmental plays a vital role in increasing the supply of purified water for people and industry worldwide.

For more than 150 years, Crane Environmental has engineered and manufactured cutting-edge water treatment systems. Today, its Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems remove salt and other impurities from seawater, surface water, and aquifers. Its water purification systems are producing millions of gallons an hour in over eighty-three countries. Its Deaerator (DA) systems are at work reducing free oxygen levels in boiler feed water to just several parts per billion (ppb), improving the operation and longevity of boilers world wide. Both RO's and DA's reduce energy costs, carbon footprint and water use while reducing demand for potentially harmful chemical additives.

Headquartered in Venice, Crane Environmental provides jobs in a wide range of skill sets from engineering to assembly and fabrication. In addition to building advanced water treatment systems, Crane Environmental employees also utilize state-of-the-art lean manufacturing techniques to insure world-class customer service, operating performance, and quality.

Faster, Better, Easier! Employees are empowered at all levels of the organization to identify ways to continuously improve all aspects of the business, from safety to sales growth.  Employees also benefit from being part of our parent company, Crane Co.

Crane Co., (CR) NYSE, established over 150 years ago, is one of the oldest publicly-held companies in the United States. It is also one of the ten most profitable companies of all time for its investors.

Timeless Ethics. Every internal Crane Co. presentation begins with the following statement by our founder, and it is the cornerstone of what we expect from ourselves as professionals:

“I am resolved to conduct my business in the strictest honesty and fairness; to avoid all deception and trickery; to deal fairly with both customers and competitors; to be liberal and just toward employees; and to put my whole mind upon the business.” Richard Teller Crane - 1855

Crane Environmentality™. Water is a precious resource, but it is not the only one. Crane Environmental adheres to an Environmental Policy that is good for the environment and even better for business.

By 2020, over two thirds of the world's population will be facing water shortages and Crane Environmental is ready to intervene with tomorrow’s desalination equipment solutions. Our mission is to make sure that pure water is available and affordable for every generation to come.
