Company Profile

Leading in static sealing technology

Since the establishment of our company in 1889, we have made significant contributions to the advancement of sealing technology with the development of our gaskets, packings and compensators. This is a tradition that we continue to this day. Thanks to the years of technical expertise available to us, we can offer clients not just standard solutions, but individually tailored problem and system solutions. Our clients benefit from this added value every day.

The quality of a product starts with the selection of the raw materials. We only use proved and tested materials, which also undergo continuous quality control in a modern chemical and physical laboratory.
All test results are documented and must be attached to the relevant batch. We keep the most commonly used materials in our semi-finished products store, so our clients can always be supplied quickly.

On request, we and our distribution partners keep many standard and non-standard dimensions of our products in an extensive components warehouse. Our warehouse holds a range of more than 17,000 different articles in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The most modern machines and facilities guarantee that our products are produced to a consistently high standard – quickly and efficiently.

Consulting engineers design the sealing system for the client and calculate the required bolt loads for complex connections, in order to ensure the highest and safest level of system availability.
In order to beat the usual delivery times, we support our clients with assembly and production control on-site, on their own premises. The control system is managed by a specialised team based in its own self-contained premises, with online access to the head office.

In order to meet demand, we keep a variety of quality marks, registrations, permits and certificates in stock. Numerous subsidiaries and partner companies both at home and abroad work with us in our efforts to meet the expectations and demands of the market.
Expertise in static sealing technology

The close contact we have had over the decades with clients through our distribution partners and field staff – beginning right from the planning phase – means we can offer a significant contribution to solving problems.
What really stands out in this service is our expertise in the field of static sealing technology – especially when gaskets are used at high pressures and with critical media.
Reducing costs along the supply chain

A number of years ago we started a project called “Reducing process costs along the supply chain”.

This offer was met with a huge positive response from our clients. Initially, it was mainly taken up by larger clients, but increasingly it has found favour with clients with medium-sized businesses.

This is an area where we can offer great flexibility. This is because the focus is not on communications, but on the buying process. From telecommunications to the creation of stock lists in existing, custom-developed web shops, we’ve found numerous ways of creating solutions. By working closely with clients and focusing on the required specifications, we bring all projects to a successful resolution.

Today we are one of the leading companies to offer this service.

Assembly training

We will train your employees pursuant to EN 1591 as specialists in the installation of sealing connections in flanges to the standards required by Directive 97/23 EC on pressure equipment and CEN/TS 1591-4 (specialists in accordance with CEN/TS 1591-4).
With the coming into force of the fourth part of EN 1591, operators will now have one harmonised standard to apply to the training of assembly fitters.
In the future it will be possible to select assembly operators according to the individual area of expertise required. Flange gaskets that are subject to Directive 97/23 EC will in the future be expertly fitted by competent staff.
The necessary training programme is drawn up by Kempchen in accordance with EN 1591 and certified through ISO 9001. We offer a basic module, in compliance with applicable standards, which offers the necessary basic knowledge to create a leak-proof flange connection.


Worldwide Support

Since January 2004, we have been a member of the group of independent Klinger® companies, which are integrated into a worldwide distribution network.
This allows us to provide the service our clients are accustomed to on a worldwide basis, making use of a range of high performing, expert service providers.
