The new company will maintain operations in Williston, VT, Houston, TX and Gonzales, LA with the corporate headquarters in Williston, VT.

Hank Slauson, former President of Flex-A-Seal, Inc. now Chairman of Flexaseal Engineered Seals and Systems, LLC commented, “I am proud to announce this merger as the next step in our path to increasing our share of the fluid sealing market.

Flex-A-Seal founded in 1983, known globally as a leader in the manufacture of welded metal bellows and fully split cartridge mechanical seals, offers engineered solutions for virtually any sealing application. Flex-A-Seal has customers in over 50 countries worldwide.

Momentum Engineered Systems founded in 2013, disrupted the poorly served seal support and lubrication markets through innovative customer service. Momentum Engineered Systems is currently the largest independent seal systems manufacturer in the USA.

Both companies are distinguished by their commitment to “Made in the USA” and their Vermont, Texas, and Louisiana workforces and cultures. The merger now vertically integrates and supplies Flex-A-Seal and Momentum products under one entity, providing a complete sealing package to customers.
