Originally a trained machinist, Alan Stiff came over from Wales in 1981 and began his career in the sealing industry at the young age of 24. Starting with Wynns Precision as a sales associate, Alan quickly moved into a regional sales manager position. For the next 7 years, he helped build Wynns into a leading supplier of sealing products in Alberta.
In 1992, Alan decided to start KC Seals, as he saw a void in the market that he and a key supplier in Eastern Canada could fill. Starting out strictly as a distributor, KC Seals has grown from just that to a leading manufacturer of machined and molded sealing products for the oil field service sector in North America. Its been 30 years since Alan first opened KC Seals, and it’s hard to believe how far the company has come.
Alan is a proud husband and father to daughter Kerry and son Christopher, and grandfather to 7 incredible grandchildren.
