About Us

Garlock, an Enpro company, is a leading global manufacturer of high performance sealing solutions and other innovative products with an emphasis on safety, longevity, and productivity. With a history dating back over 130 years, Garlock today maintains a global presence of manufacturing and distribution facilities that allow us to meet our customers' needs with unprecedented responsiveness and ingenuity.

We are Materials Science and Manufacturing Innovators.

Ultra-narrowband interference filters (as narrow as ~0.1nm linewidth) for LIDAR imaging are made by depositing alternating layers of materials with contrasting refractive indices onto a substrate. Layers are typically ¼ wavelength thick. Our optical filters are also used in non-linear optical systems with high-intensity femtosecond pulse lasers.

We went to Mars! Well, our products did. The Mars Rover traveled 54 million miles through space to explore a rocky, hostile planet. The Rover’s robotic arm drill spindle incorporates our metal-PTFE bearing segments – which are self-lubricating and are capable of functioning from -328°F (-200°C) to +536°F (+280°C). In 2021, we went to the moon onboard NASA’s SLS rocket, where we provided seals for the liquid hydrogen and oxygen propellant systems.

An extensive, two-year testing phase preceded the requirements definition and design of a sealing system for protecting vital electronics in a subsea environment. Our seal consists of a close-wound helical spring core and ductile outer jacket for maximum sealing integrity.

When it comes to vaccines and gene therapies, the introduction of contaminants at any point in the production process can have disastrous consequences. Our sterile fluid transfer solutions for critical environments makes sure this doesn’t happen.
