When your family name is on the business, earning and preserving a reputation means a lot.

Our good fortune in learning from Bob Purvis, one of the hardest working and most knowledgeable people in the seal industry, gave us a foundation to help build and grow this company. Every day is another opportunity to display our commitment to our customers and our partners in the supply chain.
