EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING
For OPW Clean Energy Solutions, engineering excellence begins with its people and is reflected in the quality of its products.
DEFINING EXCELLENCE: HOW EXPERIENCE AND ENGINEERING EXPERTISE HELP SHAPE SUCCESS FOR OPW CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Revolutionizing clean energy operations and delivering advanced equipment and systems isn’t just a pillar of OPW Clean Energy Solutions (OPW CES); it’s the never-ending mission.
This commitment is rooted in precision and reliability—designing and manufacturing high-performance, top-quality valves, hoses, regulators, gas-handling equipment, and fully engineered systems that support critical applications across industrial manufacturing, electronics, food and beverage, and energy markets, among others.
As a division of Dover Corporation, a culture of excellence is embedded in the DNA of OPW CES. The pursuit of first-class engineering begins with deliberate investment in internal talent, processes, and capabilities. This foundation empowers the organization to drive product and customer-solution breakthroughs, reduce costly failures, and build long-term trust with customers operating in demanding, high-stakes environments.
Here’s a closer look at how the OPW CES team continues to set the standard as a trusted leader in clean energy solutions.
Winning with People
Legendary Ohio State University football coach Woody Hayes had it right when he declared, “You win with people.” A critical factor in the success of OPW Clean Energy Solutions (OPW CES) lies with its team—and that is no coincidence.
Excellence in engineering is a core objective within the organization, and it starts with hiring the right engineers.
“We teach it and interview for it,” said Chris Herman, Senior Product Planning and Business Development Manager (and previous Engineering Manager of Cryogenics) at OPW CES. “We don’t just pick anyone when looking for engineers. We ensure they possess the right aptitude and mindset.”
Another key contributor to success is access to critical resources, including collaboration with other business units within Dover. This connectivity opens the door to licensing opportunities, shared data, engineering guidance, and participation in cross-functional committees—providing practical insight into real-world applications and accelerating smarter, more reliable solutions.
Solving Problems for Customers and Industries
The team at OPW Clean Energy Solutions (OPW CES) envisions a future where energy is cleaner, safer, and more accessible—a future that demands pioneering innovation. But meaningful progress doesn’t come without its challenges.
This is where decades of industry leadership and a deep commitment to understanding customer needs enable the OPW CES team to solve real-world problems for the industries they serve.
One of the most significant customer pain points is cost reduction wherever possible. To address this, OPW CES assembles products in-house, including components designed for easy integration with existing systems. This approach drives continuous product improvement while minimizing expenses and enhancing safety—advancements the engineering team is proud to share with the broader industry.
Need a tailored solution for your application? According to Herman, that’s part of the mission.
“We provide customer-centric experiences,” he said. “We take pride in hitting our delivery dates, we focus on standards and safety, and we make sure what we learn and engineer gets passed on to the rest of the industry.”
Defining ‘Excellence in Engineering’
At OPW Clean Energy Solutions (OPW CES), excellence in engineering begins with the team and is reflected in the workmanship of every final product—and in the impact those solutions have on businesses around the world. This mindset extends to how the organization approaches product development for its core industries.
“One of the principal drivers is our new product development process,” said Herman. “We conduct ongoing training and have everyone shadow an engineer. We bring in people from other areas of the business to provide input on each design and project. We make sure people are not on an island and everyone can let their views be heard.”
OPW CES products are held to the highest quality and safety standards, with these requirements built into every stage of design and manufacturing.
“Safety is of the utmost concern. This is especially critical when working with cryogenics and flammable fluids, such as hydrogen and liquid natural gas,” said Jeff Howard, Director of Design Engineering at OPW CES. “Global regulations for our industry get tighter and tighter every year. We design our products to ASME and other standards, and we take pride in designing the proper safety features into our products.”
Through ongoing participation in safety and standards committees and regular attendance at industry conferences, OPW CES plays an active role in shaping best practices. The recognition received from industry associations further reinforces the company’s leadership—and its unwavering commitment to safety, reliability, and performance.
