GFA has been manufacturing sealing profiles on 17 state-of-the-art extrusion lines in the field of renovation seals and seals for system manufacturers as original equipment for over 45 years with more than 100 employees. “Customers can also order tools from us for completely individual seals, even with a length of over 200 metres and up to several thousand metres,” says Managing Director Lars Hagemeier. If, for example, old buildings need to be renovated for which seals are no longer available, the sealing specialist manufactures new sealing profiles for them.

“There are sometimes seals in old buildings that are no longer readily available. We then offer gasket development with new tools for the renovation,” explains Daniel Stark, Head of Toolmaking. He and his team of six are currently building up to seven moulds per week. Over 5000 sealing profiles, i.e. profile moulds, are kept directly in stock.
