PTM are a prominent supplier and manufacturer of gaskets, which are used widely in industries throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide.
We have been manufacturing gaskets for over 50 years, using a broad selection of materials suited to a variety of industries. These range from EPDM, ideal for potable water systems and general water sealing, to high-performance options like Gylon®, which is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors for its superior resistance to aggressive media and extreme conditions.
By working closely with you to understand your requirements, we can identify the most appropriate solution from our extensive material range. This ensures the gasket you receive is cost-effective and reliable. While budget considerations can sometimes play a role in decision-making, more often it’s the longevity, safety, and performance of the seal that take priority. That’s why we focus on supplying gaskets that are consistently manufactured from high-quality, tested materials.
With over 100 years of combined experience across our team, we bring a deep understanding of all gasket styles and their technical demands. Whether you require a standard profile or have a complex sealing issue, our experts are here to analyse your needs, offer practical advice, and recommend a tailored solution, even for the most challenging gasketing scenarios.
Manufacturing
Our manufacturing capabilities are extensive in our 11,000 square foot gasket shop. We have 10 presses available ranging from 20 to 80 tonnes, and with over 15,000 cutting formes to choose from, many standard sizes and styles are available without incurring tooling costs, which can save you money.
For bespoke designs we now utilise our 2 axis CNC cutters. These allow us to produce complex designs in a variety of materials without the need for sometimes expensive tooling; plus with the cut being done with a knife there are no laser scorch marks.
For thicker gauges, we cut using a 55000 psi water jet cutter. This allows us to cut up to 100mm thick materials, without edge deformation, plus with the jet being only 1mm diameter there is very little wastage between cuts, meaning it saves you money.
For large gaskets (Bigger than either roll or sheet size) we can supply them in pieces with dovetail joints pre-cut.
You can e-mail your designs to us or we can input them directly from your drawings.
