Ideal Clamps Catalog and Current Pricing
Ideal/Tridon's Story:
When Ideal and Tridon merged over a decade ago , two extraordinary companies with complementary strengths joined to create one world class leader in the engineered joint sealing industry. A reputation for superior quality was built upon both IDEAL brand and TRIDON brand products. For over a decade both brands have been made in the same facilities to the same high quality standards demanded by OEM and aftermarket customers alike. The next step is the evolution of the two brands to one—the IDEAL-TRIDON brand. The new IDEAL-TRIDON brand being introduced with this catalog represents the legendary quality, reliability, and innovative engineering for which our products have always been known.
Although IDEAL-TRIDON is a forward-focused brand, we're also commemorating the rich and diverse history that led us to where we are today. The year 2013 marks a combined 190 years of experience in developing innovative joint-sealing solutions. Ideal was founded in 1913 by Philip Rauch, a taxi cab owner/operator with a background in automotive engineering. Tridon began in 1923 by Don Green, a young man trying to prove he could make it on his own. Throughout the last century literally billions of clamps have been made by the companies started by these two visionaries. The foundation for success built by both men sustains us to this day and will continue with our commitment to provide innovative clamping solutions backed by the best service in the industry.
Today we continue to build upon our founders’ innovative spirit by constantly pushing boundaries with new IDEAL-TRIDON products. Our latest innovation is the SmartSeal ™ product line being introduced in this catalog. This next generation clamp uses patent-pending technology to continuously seal in a steady 360 degree pattern while responding to pressure and temperature changes. We’d say that’s pretty smart! Weighing less than traditional self-compensating clamps, SmartSeal is now being used on the newest fuel-efficient vehicles coming to market.
With the IDEAL-TRIDON brand, you’re getting a product backed by 190 years of combined engineering excellence. Customers worldwide count on us to seal critical connections. Shouldn't you? After all, we've provided “Proven Designs, Billions of Times.”
