One of Garlock’s top distributors, Virginia Sealing Products, moved into a new, much larger facility in October. For nearly 30 years, VSP has been exclusively focused on providing fluid sealing products to a variety of industries. The company’s approach is unique—it employs an engineering staff (including nuclear, industrial, and mechanical engineers) who help develop custom sealing solutions for customers.

“Garlock is the best possible partner in this industry,” says David Malgee, Chief Operating Officer of VSP. David’s partners include his brother, Paul Malgee, the firm’s president, and Jerry Waterland, vice president of engineering. “This move will help us grow our business in key areas, such as power generation and our rail car division.”

VSP moved its headquarters from a 20,000 square-foot facility to a 108,000 square-foot location. With the additional space, the company will add more testing labs, and increase its fabrication and manufacturing capabilities. VSP employs more than 50 professionals at three locations.

“We made the move because we see opportunities for growth,” says Paul Malgee. “I think the key to our success is that we’re focused on providing comprehensive, custom solutions—we do everything from recommendations to installation to advice on handling.”
