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, supplying seals to local cylinder repair shops in Calgary. The name “KC” honors their children, Kerry and Christopher—a small but meaningful detail that reflects the company’s roots in family.
What began as a local distributor quickly evolved into a specialized sealing manufacturer, with KC Seals earning a reputation for two key strengths: speed and quality. These values became the foundation of our growth strategy, leading us to vertically integrate critical parts of our supply chain by bringing core processes in-house—including rubber molding, casting, mold making, and CNC machining. The result is a flexible, high-performance manufacturing platform capable of delivering custom sealing solutions that meet the most demanding industry standards. Today, these capabilities allow us to serve clients across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
With continued growth on the horizon, we’re now expanding our manufacturing footprint into the United States. This next step will bring us even closer to our North American clients, enabling faster turnaround times and greater responsiveness—furthering our mission to deliver precision sealing, without compromise.
