Company profile

Header-Dichtungstechnik

The gasket specialist

We have been committed to our customers for over 50 years. Fair and reliable partnerships are our top priority. An extensive and well-stocked warehouse full of seals as well as the fulfillment of customer-specific requirements and rapid development of special sealing technology solutions are the basis of our success and are reflected in our slogan: Fast. Reliable. Fair. And now also internationally – with MagnuSeals.

Several million seals that have left our company for customers over the last few decades speak for themselves.

In order to be able to optimally serve growing order numbers and increasing logistics requirements for our seals in the future, the incoming goods department is being rebuilt and the warehouse is being expanded to include additional capacities for shipping goods from stock.
