Our Mission

Customer satisfaction is our primary goal. We accomplish this for our customers by being seal focused, technically strong and providing superior quality systems for OEM’s in Filtration, Fluid Power, Life Sciences, Aerospace and General Industrial. 

Though relatively small, a seal has a large impact on product performance and quality.  Our core values of respect, honesty, and integrity carry though in our seals.

Our quality assurance program is best in class, inspecting over 40 million seals a year. Aligning closely with our customers' business process, we manage supply chain programs and ship over 80 million seals a year. We maintain close relationships with our technical partners and suppliers with proven history of consistency and integrity of their compounds and materials.

Our sister company CrestTec, located in Austin, Texas, provides semiconductor fabs with the most comprehensive cross reference database of confirmed OPM/ second source parts. Our value engineering of critical spare parts will enhance tool performance and extend component lifetime.
