APM Hexseal has manufactured sealing products in our New Jersey facility since 1947. After over 75 years, our products are still proudly manufactured in America.

Manufactured in America

What Does Manufactured in America Mean?

Over the last few years, there has been a movement to reshore manufacturing. This brings jobs back to the United States and is more cost-effective in the long run. Companies who manufacture in America may source their raw materials from all over the world to ensure they’re getting the best components available, but U.S. workers are creating the final product stateside.

Benefits of Manufacturing in America

There are numerous benefits to choosing a manufacturer based in the United States over those found abroad, including:

  • Cost-Effective: Logistics costs drop with U.S. manufacturing because there are more options and the goods do not have to travel as far. Also, the wages earned by employees are spent in their respective communities, boosting their local economies.
  • Quality Control: U.S. manufacturing facilities are held to U.S. safety standards and regulations to ensure a safer workplace for employees. Having the factory nearby also allows one to better oversee daily operations and quality control measures.
  • U.S. Job Creation: U.S. manufacturing plants create jobs for the American worker—not only in manufacturing, but in industries that support and complement it. This helps to foster economic growth across industries and communities.
  • Shorter Lead Times: Shipping overseas takes time, and that must be factored into the final ETA for delivery. By manufacturing in the United States, we shorten delivery times to our domestic customers.
  • Environmental Sustainability: Long-haul shipping isn’t environmentally friendly. Reducing shipping distances decreases carbon emissions. Additionally, there is more control over facility operations as guided by U.S. environmental protection standards, and more sustainable choices in day-to-day operations can be made. Today’s customers are looking for responsible companies with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
  • U.S. Taxes: Keeping manufacturing in the U.S. means that we pay taxes into the U.S. treasury, which benefits the national economy as a whole.

Historical Excellence and Innovation

Since 1947, APM Hexseal has been an innovator in sealing fasteners and sealing solutions. With more than 100 patents to our name, we are intimately invested in the quality and success of our product line. We developed this technology more than 75 years ago in response to a U.S. military request. Since then, our spirit of innovation has continued. We now produce a full line of sealing hardware and sealing switch boots, adding new products regularly to meet growing demand.

Wide Range of High-Quality Products

We offer a wide range of sealing solutions for our clients. Our sealing boots protect circuit breakers as well as toggle, rotary, and pushbutton switches. We have a switch boot for most standard or off-the-shelf switches and breakers, along with design and manufacture sealing solutions for custom applications. We also offer a full line of self-sealing fasteners, including sealing screws, nuts, bolts, and washers.

Our products are designed to protect sensitive electrical and mechanical components in mission-critical applications. If your devices are operating in an environment where they can be exposed to a range of potential contaminants, you can count on our products to provide a proper seal. Hazardous conditions can include dirt, grease, water, wind, salt, ice, snow, chemicals, food, liquids, and sun exposure, any of which can spell disaster for unprotected electronic components.

Our products are designed to alleviate such threats and prevent damage or failure during use. Most of our products are also reusable, making them a smart economic choice.

Commitment to Quality and Safety

We are committed to delivering products that our customers can rely on. We maintain UL and ISO 9001 certifications and comply with various international standards to ensure quality, safety, and environmental sustainability across our line of products.
