Boulden Company

Boulden Company makes wear components and material solutions for rotating and reciprocating equipment used in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and fertilizer and water facilities. Its work centers on upgrading original parts, such as pump wear rings made from DuPont Vespel CR-6100, composite labyrinth seals for centrifugal compressors, and polycrystalline diamond bearings for abrasive process fluids. Its customers include equipment makers and machinery repair shops.

The company focuses on total cost of ownership rather than the lowest first cost, and it offers technical advisory support for plant engineers. The North American headquarters is in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, with a Gulf Coast sales office and bearing and seal business in Houston, Texas. Boulden also runs an international headquarters in Luxembourg that serves Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
