Crane Lear Romac

Crane Lear Romec is a manufacturer and service provider for oil, fuel, and coolant pumps used in aircraft, gas turbine engines, and radar cooling systems. The company serves the commercial transport, general aviation, and ground-based turbine engine markets. Based in Elyria, Ohio, Crane Lear Romec evolved from the Metallic Packing and Manufacturing Company, which serviced the steam locomotive industry. The company was reorganized and renamed Martell Packing Company in 1914. Shortly thereafter it acquired the intellectual property for a unique vane pump from the Rotary Machine & Engineering Company, thus providing the name, Romec. Because of the success of the Romec pump, the company changed its name to the Romec Pump Company in 1931. In 1948, the company merged with Lear, Inc. to become Lear-Romec, continuing its tradition of innovation and quality. The Crane Company purchased Lear- Romec in 1990, renaming the company Crane Lear Romec. The Support Group and Entsgo have worked with Crane Lear Romec on a number of projects since 1998, when it began preparing the company’s MANMAN enterprise management system for the Y2K switch. The The Support Group Entsgo team made the necessary modifications to MANMAN to ensure that the system was prepared for the transition into the year 2000. “Everything was flawless, the people at The Support Group have always been excellent to us. They have always given great value.”

- Ron Bosley, IT Manager
