Founded on innovation and entrepreneurial vision, Chicago Gasket Company has been a trusted manufacturer of sealing solutions since 1949. Recognizing the future potential of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) technology early on, founder Robert Huxley Martin acquired the company with a single punch press and typewriter, laying the foundation for what would become a respected, multi-generational manufacturing business. Over the decades, Chicago Gasket Company steadily expanded its capabilities, adding advanced extrusion, molding, machining, and CNC manufacturing technologies to support the production of high-performance PTFE gaskets, O-rings, and custom sealing solutions. In 1970, the company moved into a purpose-built facility in Chicago designed to enhance operational efficiency and support continued growth. Further expansions throughout the years enabled the company to increase production capacity and invest in advanced manufacturing equipment and secondary operations. Today, Chicago Gasket Company remains a third-generation, family-owned and operated manufacturer committed to continuous improvement in processes, equipment, and customer service. With decades of industry expertise and a strong focus on innovation, the company continues to provide reliable, high-quality sealing solutions tailored to meet the most demanding customer requirements.
