is a global manufacturer of highly specialized and innovative elastomeric products designed to withstand the rigorous requirements of the world’s leading original equipment manufacturers, designers, engineers and new product developers. These customers rely on our inflatable and compression seals, gaskets, clamps and other specialty rubber fabrications for a wide range of applications in dominant
industries and emerging technologies. Offering customers cutting-edge technology, world-class engineering, deep materials understanding and close customer support is what sets us apart. We are widely recognized for our responsiveness, flexibility and willingness to tackle customers’ tough applications challenges and for devising innovative solutions, from very practical to highly complex -- even for low-volume applications. Our industry-leading inflatable sealing, clamping and actuating technology is rooted in a long, distinguished tradition of innovation. In 1945, we opened our doors in Pawling, NY as a small rubber extrusion manufacturer, initially making compression seals for military ammunition cases. Today, we play an integral role in critical operations across the healthcare, scientific, pharmaceuticals, semiconductor, nuclear power, aerospace, and food, chemical and materials processing industries. We help customers incorporate better motion controls into bonding, cutting and conveyor operations. We make “gentle gripping” possible, from positioning doctor blades in paper processing equipment to clamping aerospace parts during bonding and riveting. In environments where cleanliness and containment are paramount, our seals protect against fine particles, extreme temperatures and caustic materials to ensure the integrity of wafer fabrication in semiconductor clean rooms, automobile emissions testing, and product purity in high-volume dry food processing equipment. Our advanced sealing technology even helped put a man on the moon, and for years played a significant role in NASA’s space shuttle program.
