At Park Nuclear, we’re committed to parts availability & keeping your operations running smoothly. When a customer needed a seal cartridge for a large-diameter butterfly valve—manufactured by an OEM that had been out of business for over 20 years—our team delivered. In just three weeks, we engineered a drop-in replacement.
This innovative solution kept the valve operational, avoided costly downtime, and saved the customer from a mid-six-figure valve replacement and design change.
Today, the Park Nuclear team took part in a photo shoot at our Pasco warehouse for the local port authority, capturing some of the day-to-day tasks and packaging procedures that help us support the Nuclear Power Industry with quality components! This was a great opportunity to showcase both our hardworking Pasco office team and the specialized parts we warehouse and handle every day. Supporting the industry is our mission, and it was a proud moment for the team to see it all come together.
