Our connection to the environment underlies our commitment to protecting, preserving, and enhancing the natural world, while growing our business. For decades, we have implemented cost-efficient programs and practices that reduce our impact on the environment.

Fernco has pioneered yet another innovative product solution for the repair or new installation of a leak-free, hassle-free and worry-free wax free urinal seal.

This wax free urinal seal is made of flexible PVC and features a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive for a water-tight, gas-tight and odor-tight seal. It will not absorb moisture and is impervious to mold and mildew.

It has been tested to the requirements of ASTM A 1045 and is Patent Pending.

Today marks a day of significant achievement for the Fernco product line. SABESP the world’s 5th largest Water & Sewage Company located in Brasil has officially certified Fernco, Inc. and their product line to be considered in every upcoming project specification bid process for application consideration within Brasil.

We are very grateful for this tremendous opportunity and thank Mr. Luiz Roberto Stelle of the CSQ Certification Department for taking the time to travel to the U.S. and visit our facility.

This year was the 20th Edition of the Trade Show. SABESP is the largest Water & Sewage Utility Company of all Americas.

The Trade Show is annual, and it is visited by Mayors, Engineers, Contractors, Water & Sewage Utility Companies, etc.

Fernco do Brasil booth was 170 sq. ft, and this is the second year Fernco has attended. Last year was Fernco Inc., and this year was Fernco do Brasil.

We received 400 visitors who equally liked our product line and the good spirit of the team. It is Tom´s second year, and he can tell you the difference and improvement we made.
