• PROCESS & PEOPLE

The typical process to make a Precix o-ring and/or custom seal is extensive (a full 11 steps warehouse to warehouse) and each operation is core and critical to the end-function of the part. Since 2009 we have spent more than $12M to update and modernize our equipment for we understand and support that continuous improvement is not a destination, it truly is a journey. Also, what was good enough before is not good enough now as we have moved from measuring parts per million to parts per billion.

A quick view of our process is shown below.
