TCO encompasses much more than just the upfront costs associated with purchasing a gasket but rather takes into consideration installation costs, production downtime, replacement costs, emissions monitoring, training, engineering time, and more. Understanding and alleviating these costs is foundational to VSP’s value-added services. That is why we created a unique program that compensates our fluid-sealing specialists, engineers, technicians, and support services personnel for customer documented cost savings they generate.
Our corporate contract customers receive quarterly documentation of these savings. By implementing better work practices & installation procedures coupled with engineering support, on-site training & multi-unit manufacturing capacity since 2002, we’ve helped our customers save over $250 million.
