Based in Ashington Northumberland, UTEX Industries UK Limited sits in the heart of the industrial North East of England.UTEX Industries specialities include the design and manufacture of sealing solutions and complex metallic components from a broad spectrum of advanced elastomeric, engineered thermoplastic and metallic materials; including fabric reinforced, composite and specialist bonded solutions.
Acquired by UTEX Industries Inc. in 2011, UTEX UK is a SME with the financial backing of a privately owned global fluid sealing systems provider, UTEX Industries Inc, established in 1940 and is a global leader in sealing technologies.
With a pro-active customer focused culture at our core, UTEX Industries excels in recommending and providing solutions to complex and challenging application conditions; to succeed in this endeavour, we continue to push the boundaries of both sealing technology and engineering application.
Our Materials group based in Houston, provide R&D including, new material formulations, on-site material compounding and failure analysis. In addition, further support is available for application specific guidance on material selection and chemical compatibility. Our Corporate Engineering team strategy is a global one with Design, Application & Process Engineers in all UTEX manufacturing locations and also our headquarters in Houston. As well as supporting customers face to face, our engineering team provide FEA, product testing and qualification services and industrialisation of new products and technologies.
UTEX Industries has a global manufacturing footprint with production facilities in North America, United Kingdom and Malaysia and sales offices in other key locations.
Our commercial, technical and production strategies facilitate a true global approach to our markets, providing a cohesive and collaborative relationship with our customers and supporting large multi-element projects.
