Des-Case Acquires OilMiser Product Line

Des-Case Corp., a manufacturer of specialty filtration products that improve process equipment reliability and extend lubricant life, announced its acquisition of JLM Systems Ltd., most commonly known in the industry for their OilMiser products.

The OilMiser product line includes oil mist adapters, oil sampling products, reservoir aspirators, equipment adapters and more items that protect gearboxes and hydraulic reservoirs from harmful contamination. The Vapor Guard oil mist adapter, which enables oil to condense back into the reservoir creating a safer work environment, is an important strategic fit to Des-Case’s desiccant breathers.

Founded in 1980, JLM Systems Ltd. was launched by company president Dick Gangnon to provide a solution for a customer with frequent contamination and breakdown issues. “I’ve always been an innovator and problem-solver,” Gangnon said. "OilMiser products have played a key role in helping increase equipment reliability, but in the hands of Des-Case, they will be able to support so many more global reliability engineers in their efforts to improve equipment uptime. I feel like I’m leaving my innovations in the hands of a leading company that will take them far."

Following the sale, Gangnon will become a product technical consultant to Des-Case to help provide a seamless transition.
