 Garlock’s Legacy
Over a century ago, Olin J. Garlock devised a better way to seal piston rods in industrial steam engines. From there Garlock was born. Founded in 1887 in Palmyra, New York, Garlock has since become the leading force in the fluid sealing industry and a cornerstone company in the EnPro Industries family.
Today, high-performance Garlock sealing solutions and custom-designed products for unique applications are used by almost every major industry in the world. These broad product offerings allows them to fulfill customers' needs more completely than any other company.
The Science of Sealing™
Throughout its long history, Garlock’s name has become synonymous for innovation. Garlock has introduced many industry firsts, such as GYLON® gasketing, BLUE-GARD® non-asbestos compressed fiber gasketing, carbon fiber compressed gasketing, CHEVRON® v-rings, elastomeric expansion joints, and Garlock EVSP® seal introduced as the first low emission stem seal. The formulations of the first asbestos-free gasketing and packing products in the late 1970s helped further solidify Garlock’s technological leadership in the fluid sealing industry.
Key Industries
Garlock offers fluid sealing solutions to virtually any industry you can think of: chemical processing, petrochemical, refining, pulp and paper, power generation, electronics, steel mills, food and pharmaceutical, mining and original equipment manufacturers.
Refurbishing of the Global Headquarters and several key manufacturing buildings in Palmyra, NY. This investment supports Garlock's vision of being the world’s premier fluid sealing company as evidenced in their products and customer support.
Fluid Sealing Solutions
 Garlock Helicoflex® High Performance Metal Seals - Spring energized Delta Seals, C-rings and O-rings, address high temperature requirements while ensuring high vacuum or pressure integrity. Garlock's joint development program with CEA, the French Atomic Energy Commission, supports continued innovation in the area of high performance metal seals .
Garlock Klozure® Seals - Innovative oil seal, bearing isolator and mechanical seal products used extensively in the steel and pulp & paper industries as well as chemical processing, hydrocarbon processing, power generation plants and facilities serving such industries as pharmaceutical, food, and light and medium duty manufacturing.
 pikotek® is the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of critical service flange gaskets, spring-energized jacketed seals and electrical flange isolation kits (cathodic protection) for the oil and gas production, processing, gas transmission, pipeline, power generation and utility industries.
Fiber Gasketing for Steam Applications - To meet the demand for a fiber gasket material to meet the requirements of steam applications, Garlock developed Style ST 706. The inorganic fibers offer oxidization resistance which provides greater thermal stability and a longer gasket service life.
GYLON® Gaskets – An industry standard in aggressive chemical resistant Gasketing, GYLON® gaskets are uniquely processed from specialized materials routinely outperforming all conventional PTFE products by minimizing creep and cold flow problems.
Metal Gaskets - For the most extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and chemicals, Garlock has developed a range of rugged metallic gaskets.
Compression Packing Solutions
Valve Packing Solutions - Garlock’s 9000 EVSP (Expandable Valve Stem Packing) uses a unique patented cup and cone configuration of adapter and sealing rings which provides reduced valve stem friction, reduced valve actuator force and enhanced emission control.
Pump Packing Solutions - DSA (Dry Running Self Adjusting) is Garlock’s leading edge technology solution for pump packing sets
