Starting in December 2014, IHC Sealing Solutions will operate under the new – but also old – name of Lagersmit. On 28 November 2014, the new name was unveiled at a party for the employees of the ‘new Lagersmit’.

In the summer of 2014, the company became independent and consequently separated from Royal IHC. Lagersmit aims to focus more on its core business, which is to supply sealing solutions for ships, pumps and tidal turbines, the company wrote in a press release.

Willem Steenge, CEO Lagersmit: “The new name and slogan underline the route we have taken. Customers can rely on trusted expertise, familiar faces and the best possible sealing solutions. Our R&D pipeline is well filled and we are working together with various customer groups to launch new products for the markets that we serve.”
