The EUSGA is comprised of companies engaged in the distribution and manufacturing of hydraulic- and pneumatic seals, oil seals, gasket sheets, cut gaskets, packings, rubber- and plastic parts, etc. and whose goal is to establish a leadership role whithin the seals and gaskets industry. The EUSGA is managed by an Executive Committee elected by members. English is the official language.
The current members are the most important distributors in each European country. The total turn-over of these companies is almost 650 million euro. With 2000 employees they serve 120.000 customers. The biggest share of the orders is supplied from a stock with a value of 100 million euro. If the articles aren’t deliverable from stock, they can be produced fast and instantly with the most varied modern equipment present in each company.
