Our Work

The relaunch of a successful manufacturing brand to reflect changes in the business and marketplace ended up doing much more–sparking new alignment and passion around what’s always made the company great.

Issue

PGC, a manufacturer of custom gaskets, seals, adhesives and other components, was at a crossroads. Their business was evolving, with a major investment in engineering capabilities, and an increasing focus on advanced technologies and solutions.

But their brand—while positively viewed by customers and employees—didn’t reflect that.

Idea

What we learned from Introworks’ BrandFAQs survey and extensive interviews was that what OEMs value most in a supplier is not an order-taker for components, but a partner with the ability to help them get better products to market faster.

At the same time, they needed a high level of craftsmanship and precision in manufacturing. That fit perfectly with PGC’s strengths. All we had to do was communicate it.
If the hum of the engine doesn't wake the baby, we can't take full credit. But we do our part.

The solution came down to four words: We Do Our Part.

Those words capture the idea of partnership, while giving a strong nod to the company’s manufacturing heritage, and embracing the role all PGC employees play in the business.

A logo redesign wasn’t originally part of the project. But during the relaunch process it became clear that the old logo was out of sync with PGC’s forward direction. So they took the leap. The new mark feels like the company—strong, proud and forward-looking, while rooted in tradition.
Before After Web

The first full application of the brand is on PGC’s new website. The transformation from cluttered, undifferentiated productcentric-ness to a clean, easy-to-navigate, solution-based site is powerful.

Impact

We look forward to seeing how the brand relaunch helps support the company’s growth going forward. What we already know is that it has had an immediate impact on the company’s unity, sense of self, and excitement about the future. As John Bower, PGC’s VP of Sales and Marketing says, “Our team has been overwhelmed with the results of the relaunch—their voices were heard, their contributions were recognized and the journey tells OUR story. We own it. It’s ours!”
