Blackmer Hosts Fundraiser for Crew of USS Gerald R. Ford
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Blackmer®, part of PSG®, a Dover company, has a relationship with the United States military that began in 1914 when it became an official equipment supplier to the U.S. armed forces.
One of the more significant contracts Blackmer has earned was awarded in 2007 when the U.S. Navy selected the company to supply sliding vane pumps for use on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), which would be the lead ship in a new class of super-carriers used for crisis response and early decisive striking power in major combat operations. The USS Gerald R. Ford was christened in November 2013 and will be officially commissioned later this year with its first deployment set for 2019.
