Custom Gasket Manufacturing & Distribution
At McDowell & Company, we specialize in manufacturing custom gaskets using premium materials to meet your exact specifications. A gasket is an engineered sealing solution designed to prevent leakage between two mating surfaces under compression. Selecting the right gasket and manufacturer is crucial – the integrity of your entire system depends on this critical sealing component. With over 50 years of experience, we ensure your custom gaskets meet the highest standards of quality, material compliance, and performance reliability.
