General information
- Short Summary
- A German-based manufacturer offers high quality and speed, customized sealing solutions for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. With cutting-edge production technologies and materials, they ensure high precision, durability, and flexibility.
- Full Description
-
A seal manufacturing company located in northern Germany specializes in high quality and speed production of customized seals for hydraulics and pneumatics.
1. Material selection:
- Polymer technologies: Using advanced polymers such as nitrile (NBR), fluoroelastomers (FKM), and polyurethane (PU), mainly hydrolysis resistant, PTFE, and compounds, to provide resistance to a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and chemical environments.
- Custom Compounds: Development of customized material blends that optimize performance characteristics based on customer-specific applications.
2. Precision machining:
- CNC Machining and Rapid Prototyping: Using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines for the precise production of seals that ensure tight tolerances and high-quality finishes. Sizes up to 1500 mm are produced within a few hours.
- External waterjet cutting: Using waterjet cutting technology to produce complex shapes and sizes of seals without inducing mechanical stress.
- External 3D printing: The use of additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping of seals allows for rapid iteration and testing of designs before volume production.
3. Quality Control and Inspection:
- Automated Quality Inspection: Implementation of automated inspection systems and techniques, such as image-based measurements by Keyence devices, to ensure the quality and consistency of products.
- Performance testing: Conducting rigorous testing protocols for thermal stability, pressure resistance, and chemical compatibility to verify the performance of the seal in real-world conditions.
4. Sustainability practices:
- Eco-friendly materials: research and introduction of biodegradable and sustainable materials for the production of seals to reduce environmental impact.
- Recycling initiatives: Implementing processes to recycle scrap from production to minimize waste.
5. Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization:
- Just-in-time production: applying lean manufacturing principles to minimize inventory costs while maximizing efficiency and responsiveness to customer orders.
- Tracking systems: Real-time tracking of production and digital shipping processes to shorten delivery times. - Advantages and Innovations

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The German company is seeking business-to-business (B2B) partners in the following categories:
Technical dealers and distributors
Cylinder manufacturers – companies that integrate sealing solutions into hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders
Hydraulic equipment service providers – businesses that maintain or repair hydraulic systems and require high-quality seals
Ideally, these partners operate in the maritime, renewable energy, or industrial sectors. However, other sectors may also be of interest, including: oil and gas (onshore/offshore), steel production, and mining and earth-moving machinery (e.g., excavators, cranes). - Type and Size of Partner
