A Wide Range of Products Manufactured in the UK

Our products do so much more than create an air- or water-tight seal. Take our spiral wound gaskets as an example. These combine a solid metal ring with a non-metal component (often graphite), which wind and seal together with spring-like tension.

They’re capable of maintaining a seal at both high and low temperatures – and they can be designed to deliver across a wide range of pressures. This is just one example of how intricately designed our seals are. From PTFE sheeting to Kammprofile seals, metal-clad to non-metallic – there’s a gasket or seal in our product range to suit every need and application.

We serve the world’s leading high-tech sectors throughout a wide range of industry

From aerospace engineering to offshore oil rigs our sealing products are used in some of the most demanding industries in the world.

We manufacture seals and metallic gaskets that are put to use in some of modern science’s most demanding fields. Our industry experience is second to none, and you’ll find our gaskets and joints at work in any and all of these advanced sectors:

  • Aerospace and defence projects
  • Oil and gas refineries
  • Petrochemical plants
  • Breweries

But you don’t have to represent a high-tech sector to benefit from our products. We also design and manufacture seals that are put to work in a wide range of more typical pump-and-valve setups. Our high-calibre gaskets are so affordable, that there’s simply no reason to settle for anything less than perfect.
