Delivering large-scale manufacturing strength with the speed and precision engineers rely on to drive projects forward efficiently

We like to think of ourselves as the ‘little big guy’—providing the same high-quality sealing products and manufacturing expertise as the industry’s biggest names, but with the agility, personalized service, and cost-efficiency that give your projects a competitive edge

Our History and Where Were Headed

KC Seals was founded in 1994 by Alan and Anne, a husband-and-wife team who began their journey in the back of a hydraulic shop, distributing hydraulic seals to cylinder repair shops around Calgary, Alberta. The name “KC Seals” is derived from the first letters of their children’s names, Kerry and Christopher. From these humble beginnings, Alan and Anne couldn’t imagine the growth the company has seen. What started as a local distributor of a few products has transformed into a globally recognized manufacturer of high-performance rubber and plastic sealing solutions.

As the company grew its manufacturing, our clients consistently praised us for our speed and quality, prompting us to focus on these strengths. To enhance our proficiencies, we invested in vertically integrating portions of our supply chain, allowing us to deliver even faster and more reliably. This strategic advantage has been leveraged by companies across North America, as well as in Europe and the Middle East.

By investing in advanced manufacturing techniques such as rubber molding, casting, precision mold making, and CNC machining, we have developed a comprehensive set of capabilities that enable us to create customized solutions meeting the highest industry standards. Furthermore, this combination of capabilities provides us with unparalleled agility and responsiveness, setting us apart from competitors who rely on overseas vendors. As a result, we can significantly reduce wait times and ensure the timely delivery of essential components.

Looking ahead, KC Seals is focused on expanding both our manufacturing capabilities and operational efficiency. As part of our strategic vision, we are exploring the potential opening of a new facility in the USA. This expansion will enhance our ability to provide fast, flexible solutions to our North American clients, ensuring closer proximity and faster turnaround times. By increasing our manufacturing footprint, we aim to better serve existing partners and forge new relationships within the region.
