Engineering high-performance custom rubber components to meet stringent safety, sanitation, and regulatory requirements in potable water and food-contact environments.
With over 40 years of experience, expertise, and advanced manufacturing capabilities, we engineer, produce, and supply rubber components that meet the stringent requirements of food-contact and potable water environments. Our commitment to quality, regulatory compliance, and sanitary design makes us a trusted partner for OEMs, food & beverage processors, and municipal water treatment facilities responsible for delivering clean water and safe food products to consumers.
Every one of our elastomeric and rubber components is made in the USA under ISO 9001:2015 quality controls with full material traceability
Engineering and Design Services
Expert Solutions for Critical Sanitary Systems Performance
Our solutions for the water, food, and beverage industry span from tri-clamp gaskets, O-rings, and diaphragms to seals and flexible elements for pumps, fillers, and thermal processing equipment. Our long-life sealing and gasketing solutions resist fats, oils, cleaning chemicals, and repeated sanitation cycles.
We'll address your rubber parts needs and questions by drawing on our deep industry knowledge of materials, processes, tooling, and design. We start with an understanding of your specific rubber component needs and application, including sanitation, thermal cycling, and food-contact material requirements. We then design and produce rubber parts that deliver the sanitary performance properties critical to your processing applications, including CIP/SIP cleaning resistance, temperature stability, and compliance with FDA and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
Our team is committed to providing precision-engineered rubber components that meet critical food-safety and sanitation requirements over the intended lifetime of the product, ensuring the compliance, safety, and integrity of your rubber parts.
