In 1859, Robert Gardner founded the Gardner Governor Company. The company was named for Gardner’s work with the centrifugal governor, a part used in industrial steam equipment. Initially, the company manufactured control equipment for steam engines.

In the 1890s, the company began to expand its product line, creating steam and mud pumps. To support growing production, the company merged with the Denver Rock Drill Manufacturing Company in 1927 to form the Gardner-Denver Company.

The newly merged companies served a wide range of industries. Gardner-Denver Company manufactured equipment for oil wells, mining and construction, in addition to its current steam and pump offerings. Around this time, Gardner-Denver Company also began to manufacture portable and industrial air compressors.

In the 1940s, Gardner-Denver Company installed asbestos-containing pumps on Navy ships. These ships ranged from aircraft carriers, such as the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, to destroyers, such as the USS Glennon. Many of these ships were in commission until the early 1990s, potentially exposing workers to asbestos parts for several decades.

Gardner-Denver Company’s production for the Navy included air compressors and mud pumps. Both pieces of machinery contained asbestos components, including gaskets and insulation packing. These components were standard in this era to provide tight seals, as well as heat- and pressure-resistance.

By the 1980s, Gardner-Denver Company stopped using asbestos as the mineral became more strictly regulated. For many asbestos companies, legal troubles began around this time.

In 1979, Texas-based electrical manufacturer, Cooper Industries, acquired the company. However, Cooper Industries separated in 1994. The company, now known as Gardner Denver, Inc., became independent once more. In 2019, Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand, another asbestos company, announced plans to merge.

The company’s pumps, which contained asbestos gaskets and packing, were widely used on Naval ships. Asbestos products were used in machinery to withstand pressurized and heated conditions.

Historic product manuals confirm the presence of braided asbestos packing in Gardner Denver’s mud pumps. Asbestos packing was used in pumps to insulate the stuffing box, which was used to prevent fluid from leaking out of moving parts in pumps. The stuffing box materials had to be replaced frequently.

Gardner Denver air compressors also contained asbestos. In air compressors, asbestos gaskets were used to provide a seal between separate components. These parts also required maintenance and replacement.

Workers responsible for servicing air compressors and mud pumps are among the most likely to be exposed to asbestos. During machinery maintenance, asbestos fibers became airborne and could then be inhaled.
