Georg Fischer Central Plastics: Not Just a Different Connection but a Connection that makes a Difference.

How do you select a business partner with the right connections? If quality, service and value are impor-tant to you—not to mention sophisticated design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities—Central is tough to beat. In short, we make the connections you need for your company and your applications.

Founded in 1955, we have long been a stable, pro-fessionally managed and forward-thinking orga-nization. Partnering with Georg Fischer Central Plastics means you can trust us. Trust us to not just manufacture and supply reliable products for piping systems you service, but also trust us in finding the right way to meet the unique needs of your company.

The Central Advantage: Technology Meeting Your Most Demanding and Changing Challenges

The speed of the professionals in our design depart-ment is unsurpassed. Combine that with the high-volume capacity of our manufacturing facility, and you begin to understand how Central can ship even your largest order so quickly. And that’s a connection you can use to your advantage in today’s hurry-up marketplace.

Another way Central makes the right connection is by constantly staying abreast of new technology. If there’s a better way to do something we’ll either find it or invent it. Many Central processes are propri-etary, a result of our employees and clients recogniz-ing and acting on an opportunity for improvement.

Which means you’ll get a solution customized to your specific application.

Everyone talks “quality,” but what does it really mean? To Central, quality starts with a relentless analysis of customer need and a near obsession with precision—precision to your standards as well as our own.

Computer-aided design and computer-controlled machinery assure that the products you order are perfectly made. And that if you order more of the same, even years from now, they will be precisely the same as today’s.

Our Uncompromising Quality Contributes to Your Company’s Value to Your Customers

Our commitment is documented. Central earned ISO 9001 certification in 1998, testimony to years of excel-lence not only in product design, development and production, but also in marketing, purchasing and customer service

Responsive GF Central Service Before, During and After Your Order: It’s Just Good Business!

At Georg Fischer Central Plastics, customer service actually starts before you’re technically a customer. It starts with our listening. Top management is ac-cessible to every client, large or small, taking the time to understand your requirements up front. Our customer service reps are more than order-takers. They’re knowledgeable industry consultants and they’re specially trained to answer the hard questions, talk through complex plans, and give smart answers for your unique application. And, you never have to wait for answers or action. It’s the connection you need to make your problem go away.

GF Central: The Comprehensive Source for all your Piping System Connector needs.

We think about quality, service and value so you don’t have to. That’s why we take such pains to make sure things are done right the first time, consistently and predictably.

That’s not all. Because we also help you explore new ways of doing things, you know where to turn when it’s time to get something innovative done. So, if you have an interesting product idea, we would like to discuss it with you.

We create the technology to build our fittings, sell our fittings and service our fittings. Nobody else puts it together the way we do. Georg Fischer Central Plastics is the one connection you really need to make.
