- "Heat Hardened" Blade 

Our heat hardened blades undergo a Malcomizing process. Malcomizing is a gas nitriding 

processes that provide a surface hardening modification by diffusing nitrogen atoms into 

ferrous materials at temperatures within the subcritical and stress relieving ranges. During 

Malcomizing the passive oxide surface film of the stainless steel is broken down to permit 

nitrogen diffusion into the steel. The resulting hard case developed on the surface provides 

a wear-and fatigue-resistant layer with little significant change in corrosion resistance. 

Most of our metal blade styles can be heat hardened.

Material Metering System 

The Problem: 

A large number of liquid raw materials were 

being handled. Many of these products, 

arriving primarily in drums, needed to be heated 

prior to charge to the mixing vessels. 

Manpower was being lost locating these raw 

materials, heating the drums, and cleaning 

drum pumps and hoses as well as cleaning the 

many process vessels used in production. 

The Solution: 

Figure 1 

A total of ten (10) 

items were identified 

as prominent 

materials. It was 

determined that these 

materials could 

benefit from storage 

in fixed 250 gallon 

tanks. Four ambient 

storage tanks and 6 

jacketed tanks were 

provided to store 

these materials. (See 

Fig. 1) Some of 

these products were

Other raws were sourced in straight side drums 

for emptying to heated storage tanks via press, 

without the need for heating. (See Fig. 2) 

A Hot Room was constructed to house other 

materials requiring above ambient storage. 

Nine (9) products were used on a regular basis. 

These raws were each given dedicated pumps 

and lines feeding directly from the hot room.

A small scale was 

installed in the 

Hot Room. This 

scale was utilized 

for weighing the 

many other raw 

materials not 

controlled by the 

metering system.

All 

twenty-five (25) dedicated lines were run to 

the change can filling station. (See Fig. 5) 

Portable tanks were placed on the platform

EARNING ITS REPUTATION 

A new state-of-the-art facility allows E.W. Kaufmann Co. to streamline its 

warehouse operations and quicken customer response time. 

SBy Brooke Infusino 

pecialty chemical distributor 

E.W. Kaufmann (EWK) Co. 

knows its customers have a 

plethora of suppliers it can 

select from when it comes to 

their chemical needs. But 

they also know it takes a certain 

level of expertise and a 

well-run distribution operation to get the 

most suitable product delivered on time 

and with the utmost level of service. 

With these attributes, EWK has become 

the primary source of specialty chemicals, 

raw materials and process equipment for 

more than 30 manufacturers in North 

America, not to mention one of the most

well-respected solutions providers in 

these sectors, Vice President of Marketing 

Stephen Schmidt says. 

EWK differentiates itself from its competitors 

through its diversified product 

base, experienced sales personnel and customer 

service. EWK carries one of the 

largest varieties of specialty chemicals and 

equipment in the Northeast and operates 

four distribution centers, including its 

headquarters in Bristol, Pa., which enables 

the company to deliver chemical products 

more efficiently and without error. 

Schmidt recently spoke with U.S. 

Business Review about recent changes to 

the company’s business operations given

the current economy and a recent capital 

investment that will give it an edge in the 

marketplace. 

U.S. BUSINESS REVIEW: Tell us about any 

recent investments that have impacted 

operations. 

STEPHEN SCHMIDT: The company completed 

its move to a state-of-the-art facility in 

2008. The new facility united our office 

and primary storage facilities under a single 

roof. With a 35 percent increase in 

storage area [and] multiple loading bays, 

we have greatly streamlined warehouse 

operations. Uniting the offices allowed 

for closer interaction between sales and 

operations, improving our response 

times. We wanted to modernize ourselves 

and we wanted to find a nice central 

location, which we did on I-95, about 

five miles from the Pennsylvania turnpike. 

To avoid downtime or any delays to 

our customers, we left old communications 

and network items behind, allowing 

us to further improve our network and 

communications backbone. We can even 

offer same-day delivery in many circum- 

stances if the orders are placed by noon for 

stock products within a 200-mile radius. 

USBR: What makes the company’s warehouse 

state of the art? 

SS: Our new facility was completed in 

June 2008. Our office area was completely 

renovated with large conference areas 

and efficient access to records and personnel. 

We worked closely with the county 

fire department, our insurance company 

and fire prevention engineers in 

designing the new warehouse. It was 

completed with a new flammable storage 

area complete with in-rack sprinklers, a 

new fire pump and foam system. The 

entire facility is protected with fire and 

burglary monitoring, and access control 

was installed to protect the public, our 

personnel and the products. 

USBR: Describe your key strengths in the 

industry. Of the products you manufacture, 

which are best sellers? 

SS: EWK has always been a premier technical 

sales organization. Our customers have 

come to rely on our salesmen and our suppliers 

who support them, for assistance 

meeting the challenges that face them, as 

well as for introductions to the latest technologies 

promoted by our suppliers. 

Equipment fills a much smaller but 

still important role in our company, 

allowing us to recommend both physical 

(manufacturing) as well as chemical solutions 

to our customers problems. 

USBR: Who is your target market? What 

have they come to expect of EWK? What 

is the percentage market share of your 

clientele? 

SS: Our core industries remain paint and 

coatings, caulks and sealants, and rubber 

and plastic, with a growing presence in 

other markets such as industrial and 

institutional, personal care, food and 

pharmaceutical. 

USBR: How has the economic climate 

impacted business? 

SS: As with most companies in our industry, 

we have definitely been impacted by 

the economic downturn. We have traditionally 

operated the company in a fiscally 

conservative posture. We have maintained 

a strong financial backbone and

good relations with our banks and other 

financial institutions. Early on in the 

cycle, we review our expenses and cut 

where possible to ensure financial stability. 

This has allowed us to continue positive 

operations without the need to downsize 

the work force. 

We cut back on spending as much as 

we could and worked with our suppliers 

in partnering during these tough times. 

We were able to make better offers than 

in the past, and we were able to cut 

enough expenses to maintain all of the 

current employees positions. 

USBR: Customer support seems to be a 

major component. How does EWK maintain 

this part of the business? 

SS: We have retained full employment 

through this downturn. Our customer 

service is continuing to take a larger part 

in the sales effort, supporting our sales 

people on the street. We represent 30 

manufacturers and our relationship with 

many of the principals is exclusive. 

USBR: Describe how your supply chain 

is organized. 

SS: We work with premier suppliers in all 

areas of our business and target the technical 

sale. We shy away from commodity 

business, as our sales force is best suited 

to providing solutions to customer problems. 

Most of these arrangements are 

exclusive, allowing us increased access to 

technical information from our suppliers. 

USBR: What is your approach to inventory 

management? 

SS: Years ago, we initiated our lot control 

inventory system. With the recent hiring 

of our general manager, Bart Lorenzo, we 

have moved the management part of the 

system to a materials resource planning 

system. While some pain was felt early in 

the transition, as he tuned his system, we 

began to enjoy improved inventory turns 

and reduced inventory levels. 

USBR: How often are you incorporating 

new materials into inventory? How has 

sustainability impacted your product line 

up and internal operations? 

SS: Our product mix continues to evolve 

based on changing regulations and the 

movement toward green products. While 

these technology are gaining interest, 

[but] the approval processes slows adoption 

to some extent. We are confident 

that more and more approvals will be 

forthcoming, and our product lineup will 

continue to change with the times. 

USBR: Can you better define green products? 

Is cost a point of concern? 

SS: Typically, green products are a push 

from the government and a consortium of 

manufacturers in general. 

They are looking for products that are 

biodegradable, lower in toxicity and come 

from renewable resources. We are now 

looking at technologies where we can 

reduce or reuse material and are taking a 

closer look at some of reclamation equipment. 

With the increase in oil prices, the sol-

vent recovery systems are being considered 

– anything to avoid waste and reuse of the 

waste stream. 

The costs of some of these products – 

especially those that are resin-based – are 

initially higher. However, as approvals 

come down from the top and as they are 

used in higher quantities, the prices 

become more stable. 

USBR: Describe your sales approach. 

SS: At EWK, we rely first and foremost 

on the technical expertise and relationships 

developed by our sales force. With 

50-plus years in the industry, the EWK 

brand is recognized throughout our territory 

and provides the sales force with an 

entry into new accounts. 

We have developed and continue to 

improve our Web site and overall online 

presence. Our Web site has become an 

excellent source of information on the 

products we sell. We continue to expand 

our marketing campaigns, appearing in 

magazine ads and print and Internet 

directories, ensuring our customers and 

potential suppliers continue to think of 

EWK first for all their raw material and 

equipment needs.
